Friday 10 21 22 morning call

Paia Bay yesterday.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
Lanai

  • 2ft
    , 18s, S 170º
  • 1.2ft
    , 14s, SSW 200º

Barbers

  • 2.2ft
    , 18s, S 170º

New long period S energy is at the buoys. It comes from the angular spreading fetch (blue circles) in the maps below of October 14 and 15.


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

North shore
NW001

    • 10.5ft
      , 13s, N 350º

Hanalei

  • 8.3ft
    , 11s, N 350º

Waimea

  • 4ft
    , 13s, N 5º
  • 4.3ft
    , 11s, N 350º

Pauwela

  • 7ft
    , 12s, NNW 340º

Short period northerly energy is still at the buoys and it's going to stay elevated also today with a tendency to decline in the second half of the day. Last day of good morning conditions, as tomorrow the trades should be back. Home guess for Hookipa is head and a half to double, clean faces, but irregular breaking pattern.

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