Friday 8 29 25 morning call

Kanaha yesterday.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 2ft
        , 17s, S 190º

Lanai
      • 1.8ft
        , 14s, S 185º

      • 0.6ft
        , 12s, SSW 200º

Small southerly energy at Lanai while Barbers shows 2ft 17s of a new long period swell. My guess is that it comes from the last days of the fetch below that was in place till August 21st and that I already posted a few days ago. In fact, I can't find anything else for a week after that. Surfline calls for 2.5ft 16 by the end of the day.

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


North shore

Waimea

            • 1.3ft
              , 8s, N 10º

Pauwela

            • 3.3ft
              , 8s, E 85º
            • 2ft
              , 4s, E 80º
The residual 8s northerly energy shown by Waimea is negligible and all there is in our waters is a small easterly windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is flat.

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