Saturday 4 25 26 morning call

I finally found the time to put together this video.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 1.8ft
        , 12s, WNW 295º
      • 1ft
        , 13s, WSW 245º
      • 0.5ft
        , 17s, SW 215º
Lanai
      • 1.5ft
        , 12s, WSW 255º
      • 0.7ft
        , 17s, SSW 210º
Some westerly energy at the buoys with the addition of very small 17s SSW energy. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

NW001

            • 4.6ft
              , 13s, NNW 345º

N

  • 5.2ft
    , 8s, NE 35º
  • 3.1ft
    , 12s, NNW 330º

Hanalei

    • 3.2ft
      , 12s, NW 320º
    • 4.3ft
      , 6s, NE 50º
    • 1.7ft
      , 9s, NE 35º

Pauwela

            • 4.7ft
              , 8s, NNE 30º
            • 1.5ft
              , 13s, NW 305º
            • 3.3ft
              , 5s, NE 35º
The NW buoy indicates the possibility of an increase of NW energy in the second half of the day. Most of the energy locally will still be the short period NNE though. Home guess for Hookipa is around head possibly building to overhead in the afternoon.

 Wind map at noon (one day old prediction). The other ones can be found here.
