Thursday 7 1 21 morning call

South shore yesterday. This kid gave it a try with the wind and a longboard, but the wind got too light for him to catch a wave. A windsurf sail is a lot better for that application, imo.

Yesterday I posted a lucky foil ride at low tide. This one wasn't as lucky.
The thumbnail picture shows the board leash I use for both SUP and Wing foiling: a 4 feet coiled leash DaKine bodyboard leash to which I replace the bicep cuff with an ankle one. The leash never touches the water while foiling.

2-3am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
2.9ft @ 15s from 194° (SSW)

Lanai

2.6ft @ 14s from 189° (S)

Good numbers at the buoys, check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore
Pauwela
3.7ft @ 7s from 88° (E)

Small easterly windswell at Pauwela. Hookipa virtually flat, maybe tiny waves at Pavils.

Forecast and energy spectrum of Pauwela from this PACIOOS page.
