Maliko bound for a second run yesterday. Average age of the six guys inside is around 20 and those kids were all frothing about the epic conditions. Andrew Gibbons was a Lift 70 (450 sq cm) and that is absolutely remarkable. Pretty sure he's gonna be riding it also today.
This is the video I made of my run.
5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
- 3.4ft, 11s, SSE 155º
- 3ft, 8s, SSE 155º
- 0.9ft, 17s, SSW 210º
Lanai
- 2.5ft, 11s, SSE 165º
- 1.1ft, 18s, SW 215º
Both buoys show 1 foot of new long period SSW energy.
Check the Lahaina webcam (down at the moment) if interested,
for size, conditions and consistency.
Tomorrow there will be a short lived south swell generated by Dora (see fetch in the satellite photo at the end). Because of the quick movement of the storm, the swell will start from a SSE angle and then gradually turn all the way to the SW. That means that all spots have the potential to go off at one point.
I'm sure there will be people at Maalaea trying to time the arrival of the sets from the right direction (around 175).
North shore
Mokapu
- 8.5ft, 8s, E 85º
The easterly windswell went up a lot. Angle is 85 degrees, so home guess for Hookipa is only waist to chest high and windy.
Bigger on eastern exposure.
Fetches map (circles legend: red: direct aim, blue: angular spreading, black: blocked, yellow: possibly over the ice sheet) from Windy.
