Saturday 2 26 22 morning call

Extra large waves on the north shore yesterday. This is Hookipa in the afternoon, photo by Jimmie Hepp from this gallery.


4am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
Barbers is mostly reading NW wrap and can't be used to detect small southerly energy. Check the Lahaina and Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore
NW001
11.3ft @ 16s from 298° (WNW

Hanalei
9.9ft @ 17s from 309° (WNW)

Waimea
8.9ft @ 17s from 304° (WNW)

Pauwela

5.8ft @ 18s from 306° (WNW)
4.5ft @ 15s from 314° (NW)
4ft @ 9s from 79° (ENE)
2.5ft @ 6s from 72° (ENE)

Extra large WNW swell continues at the buoys. Home guess for Hookipa is for inconsistent double overhead plus sets. Smaller and more inconsistent down the coast towards kahului.

Forecast of Pauwela from this PACIOOS page.
