Tuesday 5 18 21 morning call

Hookipa yesterday afternoon.


Yesterday I got my first vaccine shot... and I did a few other much more interesting things, so I decided to make a video. It contains a brief review of the Jimmy Lewis Destroyer 6.0 and my tip for checking the inflation pressure on a wing, based on the Ratto di Proserpina statue (the one in the thumbnail).

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers

1.9ft @ 12s from 289° (WNW)
1.2ft @ 16s from 179° (S)

Lanai

1ft @ 15s from 195° (SSW)

Small 15s energy at Lanai, it looks quite marginal on the cam. Check the Lahaina or Kihei webcams if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.




North shore
N
3.3ft @ 11s from 328° (NW)

Waimea
2.5ft @ 11s from 332° (NNW)

Pauwela

5.8ft @ 8s from 46° (NE)
3.3ft @ 11s from 329° (NW)

Below are Pauwela's graph together with yesterday's prediction and the Surfline forecast. The NW swell picked up as predicted and should hold pretty steady throughout the day with a slow down trend in the afternoon. NE windswell is still up, home guess for Hookipa is around head high.


Forecast and energy spectrum of Pauwela from this PACIOOS page.
