Monday 8 24 20 morning call

Sorry about the lack of photos of yesterdays, these days I have a SUP foiling board and a foil to test and I'm too busy doing that. Fortunately the contributing photographers always have something to offer. This is Robby Naish's favorite way of entering the harbor: with a few tons of water behind. Big north swell a few years ago.

4am significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
2.7ft @ 13s from 183° (S)

Lanai

2.1ft @ 15s from 191° (SSW)

1.7ft @ 13s from 186° (S)

Southerly energy on the decline, but the numbers at the buoys are still decent. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency. It looks very slow, but there's still some gems.


North shore
Pauwela
4.7ft @ 7s from 87° (E)

Tiny waves at Hookipa, bigger on eastern exposures.

Wind map at noon (the other ones can be found at link n.-2 of GP's meteo websites list in the right column).


Fetches map (circles legend: red: direct aim, blue: angular spreading, black: blocked, yellow: apparent direct aim, but out of the great circle ray map, so not 100% sure).
North Pacific (about 4 days travel time from the NW corner of the North Pacific):


South Pacific (about 7 days travel time from east/west of New Zealand):


Morning sky.
