Friday 5 29 26 morning call

Hookipa yesterday.



6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 3.2ft
        , 12s, SSW 195º
      • 1ft
        , 20s, S 185º

      • 2.2ft
        , 13s, SSW 195º
Both buoys show small very long period readings of a first swell that is going to build today, commencing a whole week of waves with a second larger swell arriving on Tuesday. This first pulse comes from the angular spreading fetch you see in the maps of May 21 through 23 below. Expect solid sets but low consistency.

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