Monday 10 16 23 morning call

Hookipa yesterday morning. The real surprise for me was not the size, but the consistency which was much higher than I expected.

Lanai shows decent southerly energy, the webcam not quite. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Solid NW swell peaked yesterday, but it's still offering some size today. Notice the 2ft 23s at the NW buoy which is the start of another XL swell that will be in our waters tomorrow (Surfline calling for 7ft 20s locally). Home guess for Hookipa is this morning is head and a half to occasionally double.
