Wednesday 11 22 23 morning call

A month ago I posted this video to describe "the best foiling quiver I've had so far" and it seems that I already have found a new favorite foil for Foil Drive assisted Sup foiling on waves. These AFS Silk are amazing. You can email me if interested in ordering AFS foils through Hi-Tech.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
          • 2.7ft
            , 7s, SSE 150º
          • 0.6ft
            , 17s, SW 235º

Barbers records 0.6ft 17s of the Tasman Sea swell I discussed yesterday plus 2.7ft of SSE windswell. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Pauwela

    • 8.7ft
      , 12s, N 350º
    • 4ft

    • 2.1ft
      , 4s, ENE 65º

8.7ft 12s from 350 is the dominant swell in the local waters. It'll probably gradually decline throughout the day before tomorrow a new large long period NW swell will start arriving and become XL on Friday (11ft 18s predicted by Surfline). Home guess for Hookipa is head and a half to double with calm winds in the early morning, but still probably a bit stormy because of the other periods in the water.
