Sunday 2 23 20 morning call

My pick of Jimmie Hepp's daily gallery of the windsurfing action at Hookipa.


Might not be as dynamic as that above, but uncle Eddie's little harbor wave was sure very peaceful. Love it for foiling when it's like that.


4am significant buoy readings and discussion
South shore
No indication of southerly energy at Barbers, check the Lahaina webcam if interested.

North shore
NW001
5.2ft @ 12s from 300° (WNW)

Hanalei
3.8ft @ 13s from 322° (NW)

Waimea
4.1ft @ 14s from 323° (NW)

Pauwela
5.4ft @ 9s from 83° (E)            
3.5ft @ 14s from 326° (NW)
3.1ft @ 6s from 70° (ENE)
 
Below are the graphs of NW and Pauwela together with the Surfline forecast. The NW swell picked very slowly yesterday afternoon (light blue line on both graphs) and today will probably reach around 4ft 14s and then slowly decline in period in the afternoon and tomorrow. A relatively small swell for the winter standards, the waves at Hookipa might still be a bit overhead, I'll possibly post a beach report later. Clean conditions and friendly size call for a high crowd advisory on a gorgeous Sunday morning.


Wind map at noon (the other ones can be found at link n.-2 of GP's meteo websites list in the right column).


North Pacific pretty active with a new WNW fetch, the third day of wave generation of the NW one closer to us (10.6ft 16s from 325 predicted by Surfline on Wednesday) and the windswell fetch.


Still a sliver of SSE fetch in the Southern Pacific.


Morning sky.
