Wednesday 1 4 23 morning call

No photos from yesterday, this is the only shareable shot I found of the Jaws session of the 2nd. Photo by Erik Aeder.

4am 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

  • 7.1ft
    , 11s, NW 325º
  • 3.1ft

    , 11s, NW 320º
  • 3.6ft
    , 14s, NW 320º

  • 4.2ft
    , 6s, NNE 20º

NW energy went down in period and turned more north. Multiple periods persist, so expect irregular breaking patterns. Plus, an onshore flow should continue, stronger in the second half of the morning.
Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half and hopefully not too stormy in the first hours of light.

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