Monday 10 14 19 morning call

Wing show at Hookipa yesterday, this is Kai Lenny.


Zane Schweitzer.


Because of the nature of the different disciplines, windsurfers can hit lips harder and stay in the more critical section of the wave, but can't get air as easy as on the wing (same if compared to kiters). That doesn't make a discipline better than the other, as they're obviously all fun.


4am significant buoy readings and discussion
South shore
Barbers
1.8ft @ 17s from 189° (S)
1.3ft @ 13s from 212° (SW)

Lanai
1.7ft @ 15s from 182° (S)

Waves were inconsistent but nice and waist to chest high yesterday, today should be similar. Check the webcam before going (it looks very inconsistent, as in the nature of angular spreading swells).


North shore
Pauwela
5.3ft @ 8s from 80° (E)

Nothing but windswell at Pauwela, another small day at Hookipa.

Wind map at noon.


Nice fetch out of Hagibis in the NW corner plus another small one with that low N of us, which unfortunately is moving away. Surfline doesn't show much of a swell yet, but I think Thursday/Friday there will be waves at Hookipa.


South Pacific has a small fetch in the Tasman Sea.


Morning sky.
