Monday 6 28 21 morning call

Hookipa yesterday morning. Photo by Patrick Wardle.


I admit I was a bit star struck when Armie Armstrong unexpectedly entered Hi-Tech yesterday. He's in Maui for a photoshoot for his brand and here he's riding a wave at Lanes during a downwinder.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers

2.8ft @ 10s from 245° (WSW)
1.4ft @ 16s from 184° (S)

Lanai

2.2ft @ 11s from 196° (SSW)
1.4ft @ 16s from 192° (SSW)

Small southerly energy at the buoys. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.


North shore
NW001
5.1ft @ 8s from 352° (N)

Hanalei
2.9ft @ 10s from 324° (NW)

Waimea
3.2ft @ 10s from 321° (NW)

Pauwela

2.6ft @ 10s from 339° (NNW)
2.2ft @ 5s from 80° (E)

Short period NW energy is gradually declining and will continue to do so throught the week. The windswell instead will increase together with the trades. Home guess for Hookipa is belly to chest high.

Forecast and energy spectrum of Pauwela from this PACIOOS page.
