Friday 2 4 22 morning call

Hookipa yesterday morning.




The light wind winging session at Kanaha was extremely enjoyable.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
SW
2.2ft @ 13s from 172° (S)

Barbers is mostly reading NW wrap and can't be used to detect small southerly energy, but thw SW buoy shows 2.2ft 13s from the south. Check the Lahaina and Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
Below is an image that shows Pipeline and Lahaina. The finals of the contest at Pipe are off, probably because the wind will be better in the next few days.

North shore
NW101
8.3ft @ 13s from 307° (WNW)

Hanalei

8ft @ 14s from 317° (NW)

Waimea
5.1ft @ 14s from 314° (NW)

Hilo

3.8ft @ 11s from 49° (NE)

3.3ft @ 9s from 66° (ENE)

New WNW swell peaked during the night at the NW buoys and is still rising in our waters. Below are the graphs of NW101 and Waimea together with the Surfline forecast that shows the swell steadily picking up throught the day locally. Home guess for Hookipa is for head and a half, clean and building.
