Wednesday 9 29 21 morning call

Hookipa yesterday morning.


I instead did some freestyle winging in the harbor first and then joined Jeremy Riggs and a group of paddlers for the weekly flat water take-off practice: 9am Tuesdays if you're interested. Here's Randy in a very good attempt (photo by Tomoko, who is the most successful of the students). The afternoon wing downwinder (should start calling them downwingers) was delightful as usual.

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

2.2ft @ 8s from 168° (SSE)
1ft @ 15s from 177° (S)

One foot 15s from an unknown southerly source would be lot better than nothing (if it's true!), check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency. Unfortunately, there's not much at all.


North shore
N
4.2ft @ 10s from 30° (NNE)

Waimea
2.3ft @ 10s from 351° (N)

Kaneohe Bay
5.2ft @ 7s from 64° (ENE)

Not much to talk about other than those promising 4ft 10s at the N buoy. Based on that and on the Waimea reading, home guess for Hookipa is for around chest high.

Forecast of Pauwela from this PACIOOS page.
