One Wheel to do a downwinder.
I did one in the water instead and it was a blast. Downwind conditions should be great also today and tomorrow, while Friday an extra large NW swell will make them much more challenging. The Eddie contest at Waimea is in yellow alert for that day.
Hookipa was getting some inconsistent sets in the afternoon.
5-6am 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
NW101
4.3ft @ 12s from 316° (NW)
Hanalei
4.8ft @ 12s from 326° (NW)
Waimea
3.5ft @ 13s from 323° (NW)
Pauwela
3.5ft @ 6s from 66° (ENE)
2.9ft @ 8s from 56° (ENE)
2.8ft @ 12s from 320° (NW)
Small NW energy is at the buoys together with some easterly windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is around head high and blown out.
