Sunday 7 19 26 morning call

Hookipa yesterday.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 2.3ft
        , 14s, S 190º

      • 0.8ft
        , 20s, S 180º
Good amount of 14s energy at Barbers, together with a 20s reading that indicates the rising of a new swell that Surfline predicts to reach 2.3ft 18s at sunset and last quite a few days. It comes from the fetch in the maps of July 11 through 14 below.

Today is the day of the Maui to Molokai race. You can follow the dots here.

Hookipa yesterday.

      • 1.2ft
        , 13s, SSW 210º
Nice SSW readings at Barbers and good waves on the cam. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

              , 15s, NW 320º
Westerly energy still trying to wrap around and make it to our north shore, but I still doubt we'll feel much other than the usual NNE windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is waist to chest high.

Hookipa yesterday.

Barbers

        , 15s, SW 235º
      • 1.2ft
        , 13s, SW 220º

The 15s reading is probably the wrap of the westerly energy and the cam shows very good waves. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

            • 2.5ft
              , 5s, NE 55º
Westerly energy still at the outer buoys but still won't make it to our north shore, which instead will benefit from the current NNE direction of the windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is waist to chest high.

Lanai

Lanai is down, Barbers (and the other buoys below) show the westerly energy of the Typhoon Bavi and the cam shows excellent waves on that coast. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

The westerly energy won't make it to the north shore, so just the usual NE windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is waist to chest high.
