Friday 7 3 20 morning call

Wonderful day of surfing on the south shore. Shot of the day goes to brother Ulli.


The foil monster.


More foiling talk, this is a short review of the Gofoil GL120. After shooting it, I went to Hi-Tech and bought one (they have a few more in stock).



6am significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
2.2ft @ 14s from 187° (S)            

Lanai
2.7ft @ 14s from 177° (S)

Wonderful numbers continue at the buoys and wonderful waves continue on the Lahaina webcam (check it if interested, for size, conditions and consistency).


North shore
Pauwela
3.5ft @ 9s from 50° (NE)            

The good direction and the relatively high period of the windswell continue, so there should still be small waves at Hookipa, bigger on eastern exposures. I heard Pavils was shoulder high yesterday, might be similar today. Sorry, I know it's around the corner, but with waves like the one above on the other side, I can't be bothered to even go check.

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


Fetches map (circles legend: red: direct aim, blue: angular spreading, black: blocked, yellow: apparent direct aim, but out of the great circle ray map, so not 100% sure).
North Pacific (about 4 days travel time from the NW corner of the North Pacific):


South Pacific (about 7 days travel time from east/west of New Zealand):


Morning sky.
