Thursday 12 24 20 morning call

As usual, I use the last week of the year to ask for donations to show the appreciation for the 2020 season of the MSR blog. Thanks again to all the blog readers that donated during the year.

The south swell yesterday was pumping also on the Makena side. Photo by James Flynn.


6am significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Lanai
4.2ft @ 17s from 178° (S)

Solid numbers at the Lanai buoy, check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.




North shore
NW101
11.2ft @ 15s from 333° (NNW)

Waimea
7.7ft @ 15s from 317° (NW)

Long period NW swell showed with some overhead sets at Hookipa, but then picked up pretty solid during the night. Judging from Waimea, Hookipa might still be surfable, but not by many. Other more sheltered spots on the north shore might be accessible to the common mortals.
