FYI: I won't be posting the video of the comparison of my two favorite wing downwind foils anytime soon. What's happening is that one is teaching me about the other and viceversa and things keep evolving. In other words, I need to keep riding and comparing them.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

Very small southerly energy at the buoys. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

NNE energy filled in, but didn't reach the 4ft 14s predicted by Surfline. The energy is bigger east of us and Hilo is only at 2.7ft 14s. Home guess for Hookipa is around head high with possible bigger sets.
