Friday 5 5 23 morning call

Hookipa yesterday afternoon.


This is a 17 minutes long video I quickly slapped together about a Foil Drive assisted SUP foiling downwinder I did yesterday with an F-one Eagle 890. Today I'll go with a 790. Massive thanks to Jerome who lets me borrow them. Check out his Instagram channel. I need one of those 360 cameras...



5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
Barbers

    • 3.3ft
      , 14s, S 185º

Lanai

    • 2.4ft
      , 14s, SSW 195º

South swell gradually declining, but still with a decent size at the buoys. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.


North shore

Hanalei

  • 9.1ft
    , 9s, ENE 75º
  • 2ft
    , 12s, NNW 345º

Waimea

  • 4.3ft
    , 8s, NE 40º
  • 1.7ft
    , 11s, N 350º

Mokapu

    • 4.9ft
      , 8s, ENE 70º

NNW energy down a lot compared to the last few days, today should mark the return to mostly easterly windswell on the north shore. Home guess for Hookipa is waist to shoulder high.

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