Saturday 2 25 23 morning call

Someone winging up the coast yesterday. Unfortunately I failed to shoot the show that Cash Berzolla put up later in the day in the same spot. The guy is incredible.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore
Lanai

  • 5.4ft
    , 8s, S 170º
  • 0.6ft
    , 13s, SSW 205º
  • 0.4ft
    , 15s, SW 230º

Southerly windswell and smidgets of long period southerly energy at Lanai. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore
NW001

    • 10.6ft
      , 10s, E 95º
    • 2.3ft
      , 14s, NW 325º

NW101

    • 9.9ft
      , 10s, E 95º
    • 7ft
      , 7s, E 85º
    • 3.2ft
      , 14s, WNW 300º

Mokapu

  • 7.5ft
    , 10s, ENE 70º

The small NW swell is showing at the buoys in line with the forecast, and we can assume there's a couple of feet 14s locally. That'll bring some occasional more organized lines in the head high range, but the ENE windswell will be predominant again. Home guess for Hookipa is head to head and a half peaky mushy windy waves. Bigger on eastern exposures.

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