Wednesday 7 13 22 morning call

The WSL contest at J-Bay started yesterday and I caught this image during the first heat. Since I started foiling, I know a little better what that feels like. I mean the bird flying, not the guy in the barrel.


6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
Lanai

  • 2.7ft
    , 17s, S 180º

Second pulse of long period southerly energy is at the buoys. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Windswell only, home guess for Hookipa is waist to belly high, bigger on eastern exposures.
