Thursday 1 6 22 morning call

Harbor mid day yesterday.


The waves at Hookipa at sunset were in the double to triple overhead range and yet there were 30 surfers at The Point. The surfing they produced was extremely exciting to watch.
Logan Bediamol had the highest scores on my sheet. He got a few barrels like this and ripped the hell out of each wave he rode.

Forgot the name of this older gentleman.

Jackson Bunch.

Paige Alms.

Michelle Larronde.

The northerly direction made the end bowl of Lanes close out most times (so it was empty), but occasionally there were gems like this set.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
No southerly energy at Barbers, check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency. There's still some wrap from the N.



North shore
NW101
11.9ft @ 15s from 316° (NW)

Hanalei

11.9ft @ 15s from 312° (NW)

Hilo

6.8ft @ 14s from 356° (N)

Kaneohe Bay
5.3ft @ 14s from 3° (N)

While the N swell is still present at Kaneohe Bay and Hilo (also because of their position that doesn't favor NW swells), NW and Hanalei now show the even bigger new NW swell which will characterize the day. The extra large size will ignite all the outer reefs (Jaws included), and very few spots will be surfable by the common mortals. Paia Bay and harbor are the usual default desperation spots on the north shore.

Forecast of Pauwela from this PACIOOS page.
