Friday 5 12 23 morning call

Kanaha yesterday.


Hookipa yesterday at sunset. Waves came up a bit but not as much as Surfline predicted (Waimea was only 2ft 13s while Surfline was calling for 3ft 15s locally).

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

South shore

Lanai

    • 2.8ft
      , 13s, SSW 195º
    • 1.5ft
      , 14s, S 170º

    Also today the Lanai readings are better than what the webcam shows. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

NW001

  • 4.9ft
    , 11s, NNW 335º

Hanalei

  • 5.3ft
    , 12s, NNW 340º

Waimea

  • 3.2ft
    , 11s, NNW 335º

Moderate NNW energy at the buoys. Home guess for Hookipa is head to occasionally head and a half and clean thanks to the lack of wind in the morning.

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