Sunday 12 11 22 morning call

 Hookipa yesterday afternoon.

Two downwinders with the new Armstrong 79.5 mast (one with a plate shim, one without) and a sunset session up the coast with the old 85 were part of the intense testing and tuning I'm delighting myself with these days. Here's a clip from one of the runs.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
Lanai

• 1.5ft

  , 14s, SSW 200º

Barbers

• 1ft

  , 13s, S 190º

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

North shore

Waimea

• 1.2ft

  , 12s, NNW 345º

Mokapu

• 6.5ft

  , 7s, ENE 70º

Hilo

• 8ft

  , 9s, E 85º
• 3.2ft

  , 6s, NE 45º

Waimea is the only buoy that shows traces of NW energy, once again it's all about the elevated easterly windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to head high and windy. Bigger on eastern exposures.
