Thursday 3 10 22 morning call

Windsurfing legend Robert Teriitehau freestyle winging yesterday at Kaa.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
No souterhly energy at Barbers, but NW001 detects 0.8ft 17s. Below is the collage of the maps of March 1 thorugh 4 that show the fetch that generated it (mostly angular spreading).


Check the Lahaina and Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore
NW001

3.7ft @ 9s from 63° (ENE)
0.8ft @ 17s from 186° (S)

Hanalei

3ft @ 9s from 38° (NE)
2.4ft @ 11s from 345° (NNW)

Waimea

2.8ft @ 12s from 335° (NNW)
2.6ft @ 9s from 9° (N)

Pauwela

3.9ft @ 9s from 50° (NE)
2.9ft @ 11s from 328° (NW)
2.5ft @ 6s from 64° (ENE)

Mix of small NW and NE energies at the buoys. Today should be a fairly small day before a new long period NW swell arrives tomorrow. Home guess for Hookipa is chest to head high and clean.

Forecast of Pauwela from this PACIOOS page.
