Monday 1 2 23 morning call

F-ONE is the fourth foil brand I own and I can speak of, and obviously here I do. Here's my opinion of the Phantom-S 740 for SUP foiling.

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

  • 9.7ft
    , 16s, NW 325º
  • 2ft
    , 9s, NW 315º

Hanalei

  • 9.6ft
    , 15s, NW 320º
  • 6.6ft
    , 13s, NW 315º

Waimea

  • 7.7ft
    , 15s, NW 320º

New solid NW swell is at the buoys. Below are the maps of December 29 through January 2 that show the fetch that generated it.


Below is the Surfline forecast that shows the swell peaking this morning at almost 10ft 16s.


Home guess for Hookipa is double overhead plus and too big for most surfers. Excellent tow day with no wind in the whole morning. Otherwise, look for sheltered spots.

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