Wednesday 10 6 21 morning call

Wingster Kaden Pritchard ripping up the coast yesterday afternoon. He too learned how to wingfoil at the Kahului harbor.

This is the polite reply I received from the harbor master to the email I sent yesterday. Wasn't expecting anything different, the point is to make our numerous voices heard and to show how large the foiling community is. So please send him an email too (and to the representatives and senators he added in CC) if you're concerned as I am about the possible foiling ban. Thanks.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
1ft @ 13s from 225° (SW)

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

The southerly wrap of the long period WNW is getting to the Wailea coast, as you can see from the significant shore break and the line 17 seconds behind. I just updated the webcam list with the Marriott one.

North shore
NW101
4ft @ 14s from 284° (WNW)

Hanalei
3.8ft @ 17s from 301° (WNW)

Waimea
3.2ft @ 17s from 298° (WNW)

Kaneohe Bay
3.9ft @ 8s from 59° (ENE)

Long period WNW swell is at the upstream buoys. If 3ft 17s managed to get to the Waimea buoy (after having bent around the upstream islands), something will get to Hookipa too. The Pacioos forecast below instead never even considered this swell instead. Without a current Pauwela reading, the home guess for Hookipa is overly challenging, I'll throw very inconsistent possibly overhead sets.

Forecast of Pauwela from this PACIOOS page.
