Monday 6 13 22 morning call

No photos from yesterday, this is Mataio in Tahiti.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
Barbers

0.6ft at 13s S 175º
0.3ft at 17s SSW 200º

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


North shore
NW101
2.8ft @ 11s from 316° (NW)

Hanalei
2.1ft @ 12s from 300° (WNW)

Waimea
1.2ft @ 13s from 301° (WNW)

Mokapu

4.8ft @ 6s from 79° (ENE)
4.3ft @ 7s from 83° (E)

Small NW energy is at the upstream buoys. Below are the maps of June 7 through 12 on which I put a black line to indicate the small fetch that generated it. It started pretty west and then moved in a better position.


Home guess for Hookipa depends a lot on the direction of the swell which is not quite clear at the buoys. On top of that, the windswell is picking up and should contribute to the breakers. I'll throw a thigh to chest high range and windy.

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