Wednesday 8 27 25 morning call

Hookipa yesterday.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 1.5ft
        , 13s, SSW 200º
      • 0.8ft
        , 18s, S 185º

Lanai
      • 1.7ft
        , 13s, SSW 210º
      • 0.9ft
        , 18s, S 190º

Small 13s southerly energy at the buoys while the new small long period one I discussed yesterday is still under a foot 18s. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

Hanalei

    • 1.6ft
      , 8s, NE 35º

Waimea

            • 1.6ft
              , 8s, N 5º

Pauwela

            • 2.6ft
              , 8s, E 95º
            • 3.1ft
              , 4s, E 85º
Knee high waves from the tiny 8s N energy you see at Hanalei and Waimea did show up in the afternoon at Hookipa but just. Pauwela is more exposed to the easterly windswell than those other two buoys, so it only reads that. Home guess for Hookipa is flat to knee high.

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