Tuesday 9 27 22 morning call

Couple of windsurfers out at a remarkably flat Hookipa yesterday.

I feel like sharing the video that JD Follow Cam shot during the last weekend, dedicated to the wahine. Being so subtle and so weight sensitive, winging (or foiling in general) is a discipline in which the ladies might actually have an advantage over the gents.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

Traces of small NW energy at the buoys, I don't think it'll do much locally today, but it's predicted to increase throughout the day and offer a couple of feet at 12s tomorrow. Below are the maps of September 24 and 25 that show the fetch that generated it.

Home guess for Hookipa in the morning is still flat to knee high.

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