Sunday 4 25 21 morning call

Hookipa yesterday afternoon. Photo by Jimmie Hepp from this album.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
1.9ft @ 14s from 196° (SSW)

Lanai

1.6ft @ 14s from 191° (SSW)
0.8ft @ 18s from 196° (SSW)

Old 14s SSW energy at the buoys, while Lanai also feels a bit of a new 18s one. Check the Lahaina or Kihei webcams if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Waimea
1.2ft @ 12s from 309° (WNW)

Pauwela

4.8ft @ 8s from 72° (ENE)
4ft @ 6s from 69° (ENE)

Pure windswell at Pauwela. Home guess for Hookipa and eastern exposures is around head high.

Forecast and energy spectrum of Pauwela from this PACIOOS page.
