Saturday 10 29 22 morning call

No photos from yesterday. This is an image from Ben Thouard.

7am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
Lanai

  • 1.5ft
    , 14s, S 185º
  • 0.8ft
    , 17s, S 175º

Barbers

  • 1.6ft
    , 15s, S 190º

The numbers at the buoys are ok, but this swell has looked smaller on the webcam than the buoys from the beginning. The sets are actually not bad, but it's very slow due to the angular spreading nature of it. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

Pauwela

  • 3.7ft
    , 8s, NE 55º
  • 2.5ft
    , 5s, E 80º
  • 1.6ft
    , 6s, NE 50º

Northerly energy disappeared from all buoys, only small windswell on the north shore today. Home guess for Hookipa is for waist to chest high.


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