Wednesday 8 12 26 morning call

Hookipa yesterday.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 2.4ft
        , 13s, SSW 200º
      • 1ft
        , 20s, S 185º
Nice mix of old (2.4ft 13s) and new (1ft 20s) energies at Barbers and plenty waves on the cam. The new swell comes from the large fetch that happened in the maps of August 5 through 8 below and Surfline calls for 3ft 17s by sunset and 4.5ft 16s tomorrow morning.

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