Saturday 6 18 22 morning call

Hookipa yesterday. Photo by Jimmie Hepp from this album.


Hookipa at sunset.
5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
Barbers

1ft at 11s S 190º
0.7ft at 18s SW 225º

Long period SW energy is at Barbers. Below are the maps of June 8 through 13 that show the Tasman Sea fetch that generated it. As usual, expect low consistency from that region of the world.


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

North shore
NW101
3.6ft @ 12s from 310° (WNW)

Hanalei
2.5ft @ 14s from 304° (WNW)

Waimea
1.8ft @ 14s from 313° (NW)

Mokapu
5.9ft @ 8s from 61° (ENE)

The mix of NW energy and elevated ENE windswell should give Hookipa waves in the head high range with possible bigger peaks.

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