Thursday 7 23 26 morning call

A flat Hookipa yesterday.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 2.5ft
        , 20s, SSW 195º
      • 3.9ft
        , 8s, SSE 160º
      • 2.1ft
        , 14s, S 180º
The SSW swell I discussed yesterday shows 2.5ft 20s while there's still 2ft 14s of the previous swell. Keeping in mind the characteristic inconsistency of an angular spreading swell, today there should be some occasional fairly large sets on the south shore. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

Waimea

            • 0.8ft
              , 22s, W 260º

            • 1.2ft
              , 3s, ENE 70º
ENE windswell trending up. Home guess for Hookipa is around knee to waist high with occasional bigger sets.
