Thursday 1 2 25 morning call

Hookipa yesterday afternoon.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Lanai
      • 0.9ft
        , 17s, SW 215º

Lanai shows a long period reading of SW energy, probably out of the fetch below of Dec 25 and 26. Not much on the cam nonetheless.

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

              , 5s, ENE 70º

Moderate size and period NW swell picked up at the buoys while Hanalei and Waimea also show small readings of a longer period pulse. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half with occasional bigger sets.
