Tuesday 10 8 19 morning call

Another day of awesome waves on the north shore. Jimmie Hepp shot the surfers for a change, this is my pick out his gallery.


OneMoreFoto is still in France shooting barrels.


Beautiful sunrise shot by my friend Shantelle.


3am significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
1.2ft @ 13s from 192° (SSW)

0.8ft @ 16s from 208° (SSW)

Lanai
1ft @ 16s from 218° (SW)

Small numbers at the buoys, waves should be small today. Check the Lahaina webcam before going.

North shore
NW101
4.4ft @ 11s from 17° (NNE)

N
7.1ft @ 10s from 348° (NNW)

Hanalei
4.7ft @ 12s from 356° (N)

Waimea
4.3ft @ 12s from 353° (N)

As predicted, the swell turned N and peaked yesterday mid day at the N buoy (graph below). It should be declining locally throughout the day (even though Surfline has it bigger tomorrow), but the morning will still have good size and clean conditions. Yesterday I had a surf guide customer whom I took to an uncrowded north shore spot. It was so good, he hired me again today. Appointment is 6am at Honolua Bay (which was breaking already yesterday). I might post a report from there after the session.


Wind map at noon.


North Pacific has a small W fetch associated with Typhoon Hagibis.
