A representative of the American F-One distribution will be at lower Kanaha Thursday 10th at 11am with a few Swings available to try (3.5, 4 and 4.5).
Hookipa had head high mushy sets at sunset.
Yesterday was another epic day of downwinders. I did this run with an F-One Eagle 790.
5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
- 3.8ft, 11s, SSE 155º
- 2.1ft, 17s, SSW 195º
- 2ft, 9s, SSE 155º
Lanai
- 2.3ft, 15s, SSW 210º
- 1.8ft, 10s, S 170º
- 1.2ft, 8s, SSE 150º
Multiple swells from multiple sources at the buoys. The dominant one is a long period one coming from east of New Zealand. Below are the already posted collage of the maps of August 1 to 5. On the 2nd and 3rd you can see the best phase of the fetch.
The other two sources are an area of strong trades below the equator (SSE) and the hurricane Dora. I'm afraid the Lahaina webcam will be gone for a long time, as there's a fire that is currently burning down the town. Check the Kihei webcam instead if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
Mokapu
- 8.6ft, 8s, E 85º
- 3.3ft, 4s, E 80º
Easterly windswell still up to high levels. Home guess for Hookipa is waist high to chest high to start the day with, getting bigger as usual mid day when the trades blow stronger.
Fetches map (circles legend: red: direct aim, blue: angular spreading, black: blocked, yellow: possibly over the ice sheet) from Windy.
North Pacific (about 4 days travel time from the NW corner of the North Pacific):
South Pacific (about 7 days travel time from east/west of New Zealand):
Morning sky.
