Monday 6 15 26 morning call

The highlights of a surf contest at Ala Moana yesterday give us an idea of the size of the south swell.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 4.3ft
        , 17s, S 190º
Lanai
      • 4.7ft
        , 17s, S 190º
South swell continues with impressive readings at the buoys. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

            • 0.4ft
              , 17s, W 275º
Just like yesterday, those tiny WNW readings are too small and too west to do anything here, the tiny NE windswell at Pauwela could make for knee to waist high waves at Hookipa.

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

Those tiny WNW readings are too small and too west to do anything here, today the north shore is going to be totally flat.

Hookipa yesterday.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 1.7ft
        , 14s, S 170º
      • 0.7ft
        , 22s, SSW 205º
Lanai
      • 1.2ft
        , 25s, SSW 200º
      • 1.3ft
        , 14s, SSW 195º
That rare 1.2ft 25s reading at Lanai suggests that a very long period swell is going to build throughout the day (Surfline calls for 2ft 22s at sunset) and tomorrow. It comes from the fetch in the maps of June 8 through 12 below. The webcams show very low consistency, but I've already seen some occasional well overhead bombs at Ala Moana.

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

Pretty much nothing in the water on the north shore. Home guess for Hookipa is flat to knee high.

Small 17s southerly energy at the buoys while Lanai already shows a tiny 22s reading of the large swell that will build in the weekend. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
