Sunday 2 6 22 morning call

Hookipa yesterday morning.

Hookipa late afternoon.


5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
0.7ft @ 20s from 191° (SSW)

Barbers reads small long period southerly energy, probably from the angular spreading fetch you can see in the maps below of Jan 30 and 31.


Check the Lahaina and Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.


North shore
NW101
6.3ft @ 13s from 313° (NW)

Hanalei

8ft @ 13s from 308° (WNW)

Waimea

6.9ft @ 13s from 314° (NW)

Mokapu
4.6ft @ 9s from 62° (ENE)

Hilo
6.5ft @ 9s from 87° (E)

Also Mokapu is back online, but until Pauwela is back I'm going to keep posting also Hilo, as I noticed that the trades windswell is often bigger on the Big Island than in Oahu. Maui is probably in between the two. WNW to NW energy continues at the buoys, home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half.

Forecast of Pauwela from this PACIOOS page.


Wind map at noon
(two days old model run). The other ones can be found here.

Is anyone else having problems accessing the Lahaina Harbor cam? It used to work fine for me now I get an error message about a critical error. Maybe you now need a Surfline account?

I had the same problem. It's back online, but now it is nearly unusable without a surfline account. I have to refresh it every couple of seconds. This is pretty annoying...I threw in money for that webcam to support a public good.
