The first classic Hookipa day of the winter came late this year. Photo by Jimmie Hepp from this album. I was sitting next to Paul and Sophie who also posted a couple of albums: part one and part two.
With so many pro photogs shooting the windsurfers, I focused on Lanes where the show was just as good: Jesse Richman.
Matt Meola totally ignoring a possible barrel behind him...
... in order to find some air time at the end.
5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
No southerly energy at the buoys.
Check the Lahaina webcam if interested,
for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
NW001
- 7.1ft, 13s, N 5º
Hanalei
- 5.7ft, 14s, N 5º
- 4.5ft, 13s, NNW 335º
Waimea
- 6.5ft, 13s, NNW 335º
- 4.2ft, 11s, NNW 330º
NW swell peaked yesterday but it's still in the water while a second more northerly pulse will rise in the afternoon locally. Home guess for Hookipa is double overhead with no wind in the morning.
