Sunday 2 21 21 morning call

Hookipa yesterday. Photo by Jimmie Hepp from this album.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore

Lanai
0.9ft @ 15s from 193° (SSW)

Lanai shows small long period energy, the webcam does not. Check the Lahaina or Kihei webcams if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore
NW101
2.5ft @ 14s from 314° (NW)

Pauwela

5.7ft @ 8s from 64° (ENE)
3.5ft @ 6s from 78° (ENE)
1.5ft @ 16s from 325° (NW)

New pretty low NW energy is at the buoys, but it's going to be hard to notice in the water as the dominant energy is (and is going to be for quite a few days) the easterly windswell. Home guess for Hookipa and the eastern exposures is head high.

Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found at link n.-2 of GP's meteo websites list in the right column (click on animation of the 10 meter column).
