Friday 4 24 20 morning call

Yesterday was another day of great action on the north shore of Maui. This is Kai Lenny at sunset.


That looks like a new Sailboards Maui.


4am significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
No indication of southerly energy at the buoys, check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore
NW101
8ft @ 14s from 332° (NNW)

5.6ft @ 10s from 335° (NNW)

Hanalei

9.2ft @ 14s from 327° (NW)

4.3ft @ 11s from 332° (NNW)

Waimea
10.4ft @ 15s from 315° (NW)

Pauwela

6.8ft @ 14s from 320° (NW)

4ft @ 9s from 37° (NE)

Medium period NW energy still at elevated levels, there will be no shortage of waves also today. Hookipa will be around double overhead pretty much all day. With the wind and the related windswell and the high consistency due to the unblocked and relatively close fetch of the source, I expect the conditions to be not particularly clean. Pretty big down the coast too, seek a sheltered spot is my suggestion.

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