Thursday 12 9 21 morning call

Hookipa yesterday.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers

2ft @ 12s from 188° (S)
1.4ft @ 15s from 183° (S)

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



North shore
Hanalei
1.8ft @ 14s from 315° (NW)

Waimea
1.2ft @ 15s from 303° (WNW)

Kaneohe Bay
6.6ft @ 8s from 76° (ENE)

NW energy at the upstream buoys is very small, most of the energy in the water locally will be the elevated easterly windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to head high, possibly bigger on eastern exposures.

Forecast of Pauwela from this PACIOOS page.
