Saturday 2 11 23 morning call

Hookipa yesterday 6pm.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
Lanai

• 1.6ft

  , 11s, SSE 165º
• 0.5ft

  , 17s, S 190º

Half a foot of long period southerly energy at Lanai. Could be a glitch or could be coming from the Tasman Sea fetch that you can see in the maps below of February 5 through 8 (direction would be around 210 though). Surfline only has the related swell coming in at less than a foot (0.7ft 18s from 213 tomorrow).

Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

Waimea

• 6.9ft

  , 8s, NNE 30º
• 0.4ft

  , 15s, N 5º

Mokapu

• 11.8ft

  , 11s, ENE 70º
• 4.6ft

  , 8s, E 85º
• 3.6ft

  , 6s, E 80º

Other than that 0.4ft 15s at Waimea, no buoys record anything from the NW-N common directions. All about the raging easterly windswell that yesterday registered 13.5ft 11s at Mokapu. Home guess for Hookipa is head to head and a third high and windy. Much bigger on eastern exposures.

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