Thursday 3 24 22 morning call

Considering the high levels of allovertheplaceness, yesterday's photo challenge at Paia Bay was quite rewarding.

4am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
No southerly energy at Barbers, but between some possible north wrap and some possible long period southerly energy generated by the fetches in the maps below of Mar 15 through 18, there should be a little something.

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