Friday 5 10 24 morning call

Maalaea yesterday.



5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 1.7ft
        , 17s, SSW 205º
Lanai
      • 2.6ft
        , 17s, SW 215º

South swell still at 17s at the buoys. The unstable weather around us might influence the conditions. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

NW101

            • 9.1ft
              , 9s, NNW 345º

Waimea

            • 1.6ft
              , 11s, NNW 330º

Pauwela

            • 2.6ft
              , 8s, ENE 75º
            • 4ft
              , 5s, E 85º
            • 0.9ft
              , 11s, NNW 340º

Almost nothing at the local buoys. The 9ft 9s at the NW buoy comes from the fetch indicated in the maps of May 7 through 9 below, but it should only arrive tomorrow (4ft 10s predicted by Surfline). Home guess for Hookipa today is flat to waist high.

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