Friday 10 25 24 morning call

Hookipa yesterday, photo by Jimmie Hepp from this album. Tough call today for the Aloha Classic organizers: the waves will be there (see buoys discussion below), but the wind will be on the light side and not a lot of sun helping it. If they run the second day of the Pros (they need a total of three days), the streaming will be here.

Small 13s southerly energy at the buoys and tiny waves on the cam. Lanai also shows a hint of 17s energy that I believe to be coming from the one day angular fetch the happened on the 18th (see below). I don't think that is going to add much.

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

Yesterday's NNE pulse still offers 5ft 11s at Pauwela, but a bigger NE one is on its heels. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half to double in the morning, gradually building to double overhead plus at the end of the day (almost 8ft 13s predicted by Surfline).
