Saturday 4 15 22 morning call

Hookipa yesterday.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore

Lanai

    • 2ft
      , 14s, SSW 210º

SSW swell showing the magic 2ft 14s at Lanai (most breaks on the Lahaina side work nicely with that size).  Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency It looks like there's the MIL contest there today.


North shore

NW001

  • 4.8ft
    , 9s, E 90º
  • 3.3ft
    , 13s, NNW 330º

Hanalei

  • 5ft
    , 9s, ENE 60º
  • 3.3ft
    , 13s, NW 320º

Mokapu

  • 4.6ft
    , 8s, NE 50º
  • 1.4ft
    , 15s, N 350º

NW swell picked up as predicted and should be around 3ft 13s locally. Together with the long lasting shorter period NE energy that should give Hookipa waves in the head to occasionally head and a half range. 

Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
