Friday 11 18 22 morning call

Hookipa yesterday morning.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
Lanai

  • 1.1ft
    , 15s, SSW 195º

Barbers

  • 1.5ft
    , 14s, S 190º

Small southerly energy at the buoys. Below are the maps of November 10 through 12 that show the fetch that generated it.


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

North shore
NW001

  • 4.8ft
    , 13s, N 10º

Hanalei

  • 7.1ft
    , 13s, N 350º

Waimea

  • 5ft
    , 11s, N 355º
  • 3.3ft
    , 13s, N 355º

Reflecting the path of the fetch, the NW swell turned straight north and should be slowly declining all day. Home guess for Hookipa is head and a half to possibly still double and no wind until around 10am.

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