Saturday 5 14 22 morning call

Hookipa yesterday afternoon.


Got too cocky with my Foil Drive Plus setup yesterday and went for a harbor run with 725 front foil and small battery (Foil Drive now makes big, medium and small), which didn't last. Paddled on my butt the last hour. Good learning experience and some great glides at 20 mph top speed before that. Hopefully next time I'll make wiser choices (read: a bigger battery). This week has been amazing, but now my body needs a break.


6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
Barbers (2am)
0.7ft at 13s S 180ยบ

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


North shore
Mokapu

5.2ft @ 7s from 80° (E)
4.6ft @ 9s from 80° (E)

Only easterly windswell in the water. Home guess for Hookipa is for waist high. Bigger on eastern exposures.

Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
