Saturday 9 14 24 morning call

Robby Naish at Kanaha yesterday.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 2.9ft
        , 8s, SSE 155º
      • 0.7ft
        , 18s, SSW 195º
      • 0.4ft
        , 13s, S 185º

Lanai
      • 2.6ft
        , 8s, S 170º
      • 0.9ft
        , 18s, S 180º

The buoys show some short period windswell from the southern hemisphere trades together with almost a foot of 18s energy. Below are the maps of Sept 7 through 9 that show the fetch that generated the latter (which will be a lot less consistent that the former in the water).

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

North shore

Pauwela

            • 3ft
              , 8s, E 100º
            • 3.4ft
              , 5s, E 80º

Only easterly windswell at Pauwela. Home guess for Hookipa is mostly flat.

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