Friday 12 23 22 morning call

Yesterday I had a couple of awesome surf sessions in excellent conditions thanks to the light Kona. I used both my two Jimmy Lewis in my quiver: 6.0 Destroyer and 8.6 HP.


6am 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

  • 6ft

  • 7.6ft
    , 9s, NW 320º
  • 3.7ft

Hanalei

Waimea

  • 4.7ft
    , 12s, NNW 330º

Old NW swell is still in the water around 4ft 11-12s while the new longer period one rose to around 6ft 15-17s. Plenty waves on tap also today with excellent wind conditions again. Home guess for Hookipa is for double overhead and clean.

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