Tuesday 10 26 21 morning call

Late October usually provides epic windsurfing conditions, but this October has been particularly good with several epic days like this. Levi Siver laying it down.


Identifying the Young brothers has become more and more difficult. This looks like Levi to me.


It's easier with the Lenny's, but only because Ridge doesn't have all his boards painted blue and red like Kai.

South shore
No southerly energy at Barbers, but that's also because it's overshadowed by the NW wrap. So please check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.


North shore
NW101
5.7ft @ 12s from 360° (N)

N
8.4ft @ 14s from 346° (NNW)

Hanalei
4.7ft @ 13s from 344° (NNW)

Waimea
6.6ft @ 13s from 346° (NNW)

Kaneohe Bay
2.9ft @ 7s from 75° (ENE)

NNW still pumping at the upstream buoys (specially the N one), but it should start tapering down throughout the day. Home guess for Hookipa is head and a half to double and clean conditions in the early morning thanks to the lack of wind, which today should start blowing around 9-10.

Forecast of Pauwela from this PACIOOS page.
