Another epic day for wind sports at Hookipa. My pick of Jimmie Hepp's album of yesterday's action.
Here's a short video I filmed yesterday. Take one of one, as you can see. I promise a more interesting one coming up soon, as yesterday I tried an F-ONE Strike for the first time and recorded my first impressions.
4am significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
No southerly energy at the buoys, check the Lahaina webcam
if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
NW001
10.9ft @ 16s from 339° (NNW)
6.9ft @ 14s from 340° (NNW)
Waimea
8.5ft @ 15s from 323° (NW)
5.7ft @ 13s from 323° (NW)
New pulse of NW energy is at the buoys. Below is Waimea's graph that shows a jump of 2-3 feet that happened late yesterday evening. Waves are going to be bigger than yesterday, my guess for Hookipa is double overhead at least, hence good only for the hard core surfers.
