Monday 9 13 21 morning call

Michelle used to be everybody's favorite surfing buddy. Now she's everybody favorite winging buddy. Yesterday it was my pleasure to share a session with her.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
Barbers

3ft @ 15s from 184° (S)
1.2ft @ 9s from 189° (S)

Once again, excellent readings at Lanai, but we learned that this swell requires a lot of patience (angular spreading + long distance). At 4am there was even a 0.7ft @ 22s from 198° (SSW).

What counts, as usual, it's what's really in the water, which is what you see when you check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore
Pauwela

3.6ft @ 6s from 28° (NNE)

1.6ft @ 12s from 352° (N)

A bit of small northerly energy at Pauwela. Home guess for Hookipa is belly to chest high.

Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here (click on animation of the 10 meter column). Sorry, yesterday I posted the map of the 11th by mistake (and screwed up all my day because of that... that's how much I rely on these maps). Today we got this very zoomed out map that doesn't help as much as usual, but at least it's current. 

Fetches map (circles legend: red: direct aim, blue: angular spreading, black: blocked, yellow: possibly over the ice sheet) from Windy.
