Tursday 11 2 23 morning call

Kanaha yesterday.


The Aloha Classic is still running and they have two more days to complete the Pros double elimination and the other categories. Today the wind forecast is poor, but the conditions have been regularly better than the forecast, so keep an eye on the IWT Youtube channel for the streaming of it, if it happens today. Otherwise, tomorrow looks a lot better.

NW swell picked up nicely yesterday afternoon and last night and today is showing 5.2ft 12s at Pauwela. It should have a slow downward trend in the afternoon. Home guess for Hookipa is head and a half to double and clean with no wind in the early morning.

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