Friday 4 21 morning call

Hookipa yesterday morning.




3.20am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
Barbers

    • 1ft
      , 13s, SSW 195º

Lanai

    • 0.6ft
      , 14s, SSW 195º

    Very small southerly energy at the buoys. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

NW001

  • 5.6ft
    , 9s, NNW 330º

Hanalei

  • 3.5ft
    , 10s, WNW 300º
  • 2.8ft
    , 8s, WNW 300º

Mokapu

    • 3.1ft
      , 8s, ENE 75º
    • 1.7ft
      , 10s, N 355º

  • Short period WNW continues at the buoys. 30 degrees difference between NW and Hanalei make it difficult to guess how much of it there is locally. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to head high and complete lack of wind till around 10.
