Tuesday 8 12 25 morning call

Kanaha yesterday.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 2.9ft
        , 14s, S 190º

Lanai
      • 2.8ft
        , 14s, S 180º

South swell still showing almost 3ft 14s at the buoys and still plenty waves on the cam. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

Hanalei

    • 3ft
      , 8s, NE 45º

Waimea

            • 2.2ft
              , 8s, NE 40º
            • 0.7ft
              , 10s, NW 320º

Mokapu

            • 3.2ft
              , 8s, E 80º
            • 3.8ft
              , 5s, E 80º
Couple of different small energies at the outer buoys. The small NW one at Waimea probably comes from the fetch below that happened on the 8th, while the 3ft 8s from 45 at Hanalei come from a different fetch that we'll look at tomorrow, as it will build only later today locally. Home guess for Hookipa is around knee high in the morning and possibly waist high or bigger in the afternoon.

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