Monday 7 26 21 morning call

No photos from yesterday. This was posted by Antoine Martin a few days ago.


4am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers

1.4ft @ 13s from 198° (SSW)
0.5ft @ 16s from 210° (SSW)

Lanai

1.2ft @ 13s from 182° (S)

Very small southerly energy at the buoys, check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.



North shore
Pauwela (5am)

3.8ft @ 9s from 84° (E)
3.4ft @ 7s from 77° (ENE)
3ft @ 6s from 75° (ENE)

Windswell went down quite a bit, as the upstream trades have relaxed a bit. They should do so also locally, as predicted by this NOAA page:
Trade winds are expected to weaken Tuesday through Wednesday. Building high pressure to the north and a surface trough passing by well south of the state are expected to result in locally strong trades returning by Thursday.

Home guess for Hookipa is around belly high and sloppy, bigger on eastern exposures.
