Thursday 7 25 19 morning call

Another day off, another Kai Penny day. Skin check was good by the way, despite the fact that I pretty much don't use sunscreen anymore... surf hats work!

The first session clips were full of water drops on the lens (forgot to dip the water in the camera before paddling for the waves), here's the only decent image I was able to retrieve.


3am significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
2.1ft @ 12s from 193° (SSW)

1.4ft @ 16s from 178° (S)

Lanai

2.3ft @ 6s from 142° (SE)

2.1ft @ 13s from 162° (SSE)

1.4ft @ 9s from 170° (S)

1ft @ 16s from 167° (SSE)

We have SSW and SSE energy at the buoys, and that's the result of the fetches in the South Pacific last week. Below is the map of July 18th, for example. As a result, there will be waves from both directions, not sure what spots will feel them more (yesterday Thousand Peaks was the most effected one), check the webcam in Lahaina before going for size and conditions.

North shore
Mokapu

5.7ft @ 8s from 71° (ENE)

Hilo

6.8ft @ 9s from 77° (ENE)

Windswell going up and down with the size and intensity of the upstream fetch, today seems to be an up day. Hookipa will have small waves with eastern exposures possibly bigger.

Wind map at noon.

Only windswell in the North Pacific.

The black circle indicates a fetch that will be mostly blocked by New Zealand, the red ones are pretty small/weak.
