Thursday 11 12 20 morning call

No photos of the day, time to post those two incredible shots that you guys probably have seen already.
This is Matahi Drollet in a photo by Thomas Bevilacqua.

This is Clement Colmas, one of the two New Caledonian kids that came to Maui in the summer 2019 (the other one being Titouan Galea) and showed us what can be done with the wing on the waves. You can find a video of that wave on his Instagram page.

4am significant buoy readings and discussion.

Barbers
1.2ft @ 14s from 174° (S)

Lanai

Very small southerly energy at the buoys and very small waves in the water. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
