Sunday 1 27 19 morning call

A full day of rest for me yesterday, my body is thankful. No photos taken either, so here's that video of Amazing Kane foiling from Lanes to Mama's while catching a few waves in the meantime.



5am significant buoy readings
South shore
Lanai
1.8ft @ 13s from 271° (W)

Westerly energy winding down at the Lanai buoy, but there should still be some small waves in Kihei.

North shore
NW101
5.1ft @ 10s from 49° (NE)

3.8ft @ 12s from 319° (NW)

Hanalei
7.9ft @ 9s from 27° (NNE)

Waimea
6.9ft @ 9s from 8° (N)

3.7ft @ 11s from 328° (NW)

3.3ft @ 13s from 310° (WNW)

 

Pauwela

7.3ft @ 9s from 10° (N)

6.3ft @ 12s from 325° (NW)

 

6f 12s from the NW at Pauwela seems a bit exaggerated compared to the other upstream buoys, so I'm either going to question that (buoy glitch) or guess it's on its way down pretty quickly. What's there to stay is the strong 9s northerly energy instead. And what's also to stay is the NE wind that is making a mess of the north shore (unless you find a sheltered spot).

So, plenty waves on tap for the day, but we got to deal with the wind. Not even going to check Hookipa, sorry.

Wind map at noon.

Yet another strong west fetch (forgot to circle it) on offer in the North Pacific. Kihei once again will get action out of that.


Nothing from the south.


Morning sky.
