Monday 10 21 24 morning call

Hookipa yesterday.

4am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 0.9ft
        , 15s, SSW 205º

Lanai

        , 15s, S 190º

      • 0.4ft
        , 20s, SSW 210º

The fetch I pointed out yesterday produced the 1ft 15s  energy that is at both buoys. Lanai also shows 0.4ft 20s from another single day fetch that happened in the Tasman Sea on the 13 (map below). Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

            • 1ft

Very small NW to N energy at the buoys. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist to chest high. The Aloha classic waiting period starts today. Best waves at the moment are predicted for Thrusday through Saturday (7ft 13s from NNE predicted by Surfline).

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

Lanai
      • 0.9ft

Marginal long period energy at Lanai, but nothing on the cam. I think it comes from a one day fetch south of New Zealand that happened on October 12 (map below).

Wednesday 10 16 24 morning call

Massive congratulations to Paia's Jackson Bunch who qualified for next season's WSL Championship Tour. Here's the moment of celebration that I snipped this morning off the streaming of the last Challanger Series event in Brasil.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Lanai
  • 1.4ft
    , 14s, SW 220º

  • 1ft
    , 12s, S 175º

Old south swell down to 1ft 12s at Lanai with the addition of 1.4ft 14s of a new small Tasman Sea pulse. Below are the maps of Oct 7 and 8 that show the fetch that generated it.

            • 3.2ft
              , 4s, ENE 75º

Big unruly NNW swell finally went down some at the buoys, but with 4.7ft 13s at Pauwela, the waves will still be fairly big on the north shore today. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and half to double high with occasional bigger sets.
