Here's what I found. I like to foil on medium to low steepness waves, especially if there's bumps/sections to connect. Yesterday I was on a perfect down the line steep wave and I didn't quite enjoy the glide as much. I might be due to my poor skills, but next time I'll surf such conditions instead.
Still learning what's good for what.
Here's how the jetty wonder looked yesterday morning.
A couple of announcements.
The premiere of
That’s Surf West, a windsurfing and surfing movie shot in Western
Australia, will happen 7th November in Maui at Rock & Brews in Paia (free entrance, just buy your drink/food). Here's the link to the trailer.
The workshop "Ayurveda and the Yogic Arts" with Brad Hay will be held Saturday November 18th, 9am to 4pm at Lumeria, 1813, Baldwin Ave.
5am significant buoy readings
South shore
The outer buoys don't show any southerly energy, the surfline forecast calls for 1.8f 12s.
North shore
NW001
8ft @ 11s from 1° (N)
5.4ft @ 10s from 3° (N)
4ft @ 15s from 298° (WNW)
Waimea
7.1ft @ 12s from 335° (NNW)
3.6ft @ 9s from 344° (NNW)
2.3ft @ 16s from 289° (WNW)
0.3ft @ 22s from 300° (WNW)
Still plenty 12s period northerly energy on tap today. The 15-16s period energy should be the west swell from typhoon Lan a few days ago. Also that sliver of 22s energy at Waimea belongs to that, IMO. Too early for the forerunners of the massive NW swell that could instead start showing in Oahu at sunset, but in Maui it's more like tomorrow.
Overall, the conditions on the north shore should still be very stormy (also because of the on shore wind).
Wind map at noon shows light north wind, stronger of course in Kihei.
North Pacific shows a long northley fetch and a NW one.
South Pacific doesn't show any fetch of relevance.
Morning sky shows that the front has passed but we're still covered by clouds.
