Sunday 7 28 19 morning call

Today there's a Molokai to Oahu race, you can follow the competitors on this page. This SUP foil downwind short video by Jeremy Riggs is very inspiring. Unfortunately, my trigger finger doesn't allow me to learn/do such things, it's been one perfect downwind day after the other in the last week or two.


Take yesterday, for example. How windy does it look to you?


Jimmie Hepp posted a whole gallery of photos of the first day of the Maui Race Series. This is a busy jibe.


Chris Pagdilao caught this wipeout.


BTW, just find out about this.


3-4am significant buoy readings
South shore
Barbers
1.8ft @ 13s from 187° (S)

Lanai
1.7ft @ 13s from 165° (SSE)

0.2ft @ 25s from 185° (S)

Small 13s energy in the water, that sliver of 25s energy is too small to be noticed and it might easily be a fluke. Yesterday early morning the Lahaina area was knee to waist high perfection, today looks knee to thigh high perfection. Check the webcam before going as there's many flat spells.


North shore
Mokapu
4.3ft @ 7s from 91° (E)

Hilo
4.7ft @ 8s from 88° (E)

Windswell is pretty small and east, Hookipa will be flat to tiny.

Wind map at noon.


North Pacific only has the windswell fetch (forgot to circle it).


Nothing from the South Pacific as fetch circled in black will be blocked by Australia and Tasmania.


Morning sky.
