Monday 8 14 23 morning call

Hookipa yesterday.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 2.2ft
        , 13s, S 180º
      • 1.1ft
        , 18s, SSW 195º
Lanai
      • 1.8ft
        , 13s, SSW 200º
      • 0.9ft
        , 18s, SSW 195º

Both buoys show some decent 13s energy together with a new 18s pulse. Below is the map of August 6th. The red stick indicates the last day of the fetch that generated the 13s energy, the black stick indicates the fetch that generated the 18s one. Both were gone the day after (7th).

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

NW001

  • 3.6ft
    , 11s, NNW 340º

Hanalei

    • 2.4ft
      , 12s, NW 320º

Waimea

Mokapu

      • 3.3ft
        , 6s, E 85º
    • 1.2ft
      , 10s, E 95º

A small out of season NW swell is at the buoys. Below are the maps of August 11 through 13 that show the weak fetch that generated it.


Surfline calls for a couple of feet 11s and that's what seems we're gonna get. Home guess for Hookipa is for knee to waist high in the morning, building to chest to shoulder throughout the day and with possible head high sets during the windiest hours of the day when the windswell might add some size.

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