Friday 6 16 23 morning call

Hookipa yesterday.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
Barbers

    • 2.1ft
      , 14s, S 180º
    • 0.6ft
      , 20s, SSW 210º

Lanai

    • 2.1ft
      , 13s, S 170º
    • 1.9ft
      , 9s, S 170º
    • 0.4ft
      , 20s, WSW 240º

Both buoys show 2ft 13-14s of southerly energy and a smidge of 20s SSW that I couldn't find a fetch for, so I wouldn't expect that to grew much. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.


North shore

Mokapu

    • 4.3ft
      , 8s, ENE 65º
    • 3.4ft
      , 5s, ENE 70º
    • 0.8ft
      , 11s, ENE 65º

Only easterly windswell on the north shore also today. Home guess for Hookipa is waist to chest high.

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