Monday 5 27 24 morning call

Hookipa yesterday.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 1.6ft
        , 14s, S 185º

      • 0.7ft
        , 20s, SSW 200º

Lanai
      • 1.7ft
        , 14s, S 190º
      • 0.7ft
        , 20s, S 180º

Both buoys show small 14s southerly energy together with some even smaller 20s energy which, I believe, comes from the angular spreading fetch indicated by the black arrow in the map below of May 19th. Not much to expect from it, Surfline calls for 1.1ft 18s at sunset. Consistency should be very low.

Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

NW001

            • 2.5ft
              , 11s, NW 315º

Hanalei

    • 1.5ft
      , 13s, NNW 335º

Waimea

            • 1.5ft
              , 13s, NW 315º

Pauwela

            • 4ft
              , 8s, ENE 70º
            • 3.7ft
              , 5s, ENE 70º
            • 1.3ft
              , 14s, NNW 340º

All the buoys show the very small NW energy of the swell I discussed yesterday. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist to belly high of windswell waves with the occasional small NW sets.

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