Saturday 7 4 20 morning call

Another day of waves on the south shore yesterday, this is Pat eyeing the line.


1-2am significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
1.8ft @ 13s from 182° (S)       
1.4ft @ 16s from 170° (S)

Lanai
2.7ft @ 13s from 170° (S)

W
2.4ft @ 15s from 168° (SSE)

South swell down to 13s, but 2.7ft at Lanai should ensure some waves also today. There's also SSE energy in the water, for some reason the West buoy shows it best. The source is the blue (angular spreading) fetch in the first map of the collage below (June 27 through 30). The other three show the small low in the Tasmans Sea that should become the main source of energy starting tomorrow. Nothing big, but enough not to go flat.


Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

5.30am update. The later buoy readings of the remaining south energy are quite smaller. Webcam shows small waves. 

North shore
Pauwela
3.4ft @ 8s from 54° (ENE)

Small waves at Hookipa, bigger on eastern exposures.

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):
