Saturday 1 1 2022 morning call

Thanks to Adam and Gale for the donations.

Dave Kalama at the harbor yesterday.


4am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers

3.2ft @ 6s from 190° (S)
2ft @ 8s from 184° (S)

Barbers records very short period windswell from the Kona flow. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore
NW101

9.7ft @ 10s from 82° (E)
5.2ft @ 12s from 325° (NW)

Hanalei

6.9ft @ 9s from 63° (ENE)
5.4ft @ 13s from 308° (WNW)

Hilo
8.8ft @ 9s from 51° (ENE)

Kaneohe Bay
7.7ft @ 9s from 48° (NE)

ENE windswell continues to be elevated although in slight decline. NW and Hanalei show 5ft 12-13s from the NW, without Waimea and Pauwela it's hard to guess how much we get of that. Surfline calls for a couple of feet 13s only, with a longer period swell slowly picking up in the background and predicted to peak tomorrow at around 4ft 13s. Home guess for Hookipa is for head to head and a half and clean windless conditions.

Forecast of Pauwela from this PACIOOS page.
