9 5 16 morning call

Double Hookipa surf session for me yesterday, the morning one much better than the wind blown afternoon one (windsurfing didn't happen because of too many surfers in the water).
Below is a photo that illustrates the clean morning conditions.


Buoy readings 4am
Pauwela
5.6ft @ 8s from 75° (ENE)           

2.6ft @ 5s from 81° (E)

1.3ft @ 12s from 316° (NW)

 

There's still some windswell energy on the north shore. That is not going to disappear (as long as you can see a windswell fetch in the wind map). It's only gonna get smaller. But today could be still fun size. So, that's option 1.

Lanai

1.4ft @ 12s from 203° (SSW)           

1.3ft @ 18s from 200° (SSW)

Option 2 is the south shore were 1.3f 18s (on the slow rise) will provide some small and inconsistent but clean waves. I think I'm going to go for this one, so stay tuned for the beach reports. I'll check Hookipa first.
OBVIOUSLY, if you want to go there too, check the webcam first (scroll down to the webcam section on the right of the blog).
 

For once, the MC2km maps are update at this time, so here's the noon one. Should be windy on the north shore.

 

Wind map shows the windswell fetch and good fetch down under that should continue providing rideable conditions on the south shore all week.

 

PS.
Yesterday I wrote:"The 16+s (for example) ones from the front of the fetch will have caught up with the 20+s ones from the back of the fetch and the frequency of arrivals will be higher."
That's obviously the other way around: The 20+s (for example) ones from the back of the fetch will have caught up with the 16+s ones from the front of the fetch and the frequency of arrivals will be higher.

You can also see it temporally rather than spatially: the 20+s ones from one day of wave generation will have caught up with the 16+s ones from the day before.
Sorry about the confusion, I corrected the original post.
