Wednesday 1 19 22 morning call

Thanks to the Foil Drive, I got exposed to some gorgeousness yesterday. Currently out of stock at Hi-Tech, but I got some on order. Call to be put in the waiting list if interested.


6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers is mostly reading NW wrap these days and can't be used to detect small southerly energy. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.


North shore
NW101
8.3ft @ 14s from 293° (WNW)

Hanalei

6.8ft @ 13s from 302° (WNW)
2.3ft @ 12s from 307° (WNW)

New pretty solid WNW swell is at the buoys. Below are the maps of Jan 14 through 19 that show the fetch that originated it. Without Pauwela, the home guess for Hookipa is particularly dicey in these cases. Probably around head and a half in the sets, which won't be particularly consistent. Smaller sizes in the Kahului area due to the westerly direction.


Forecast of Pauwela from this PACIOOS page.
