Monday 2 6 23 morning call

I lost my Gopro Hero 5 Session with floaty and mouth mount yesterday at Kanaha. It should have my name and number on it (possibly a bit faded).

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
Lanai

  • 1.3ft
    , 12s, S 190º
  • 1.9ft
    , 8s, SSE 155º

Very small southerly energy at Lanai. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore
NW001

  • 3.1ft
    , 17s, NW 310º
  • 5.3ft
    , 8s, ESE 105º

Hanalei

  • 2ft
    , 20s, NW 315º
  • 4.4ft
    , 8s, ENE 70º
  • 2.4ft
    , 11s, N 10º

Waimea

  • 2.5ft
    , 12s, N 0º
  • 2.8ft
    , 8s, NNE 30

0.7ft at 20s NW 325º

New long period NW swell is rising at the buoys. Below are the maps of February 2 through 5 (I somehow failed to save the one of the 4th) that show the fetch that generated it.


Below is the Surfline forecast showing the swell reaching 2.7ft 18s at sunset and 4.3ft 14s tomorrow.
Home guess for Hookipa is head high and windy. During the day the NW sets will start to get a bit bigger and more consistent, but the most of the energy will still due to the NE windswell.

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