Sunday 1 8 23 morning call

I accidentally deleted my photo of the day. Here's another great shot of Kai Lenny by OneMoreFoto.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
Lanai

  • 1.2ft
    , 14s, S 190º
  • 1ft
    , 13s, SW 235º

Barbers

  • 0.9ft
    , 14s, SW 230º

Small long period energies at the buoys. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore
NW001

  • 4.7ft
    , 11s, WNW 300º
  • 1.6ft
    , 15s, NW 305º
  • 2ft
    , 7s, NW 315º

Hanalei

  • 4.9ft
    , 11s, NW 310º
  • 0.4ft
    , 18s, NNW 330º

Waimea

  • 4ft
    , 11s, NNW 330º
  • 1.3ft
    , 13s, NW 325º
  • 0.2ft
    , 17s, NW 325º

A medium NW bump of around 4-5ft 11s is at the buoys. Hanalei and Waimea show traces of longer period energy that should reach around 6ft 13s tomorrow. Home guess for Hookipa is head high and clean with no wind most of the morning.

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