Saturday 6 13 26 orning call

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.

Negligible NW energy at the buoys, there's only easterly windswell which is going to start diminishing tomorrow and that will lead us towards a very flat end of the week. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist high with occasionally bigger sets.
