Friday 12 1 23 morning call

Yesterday's sunset.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
          • 0.2ft
            , 22s, SW 225º
Extremely small very long period SW energy at Barbers. Below is the map of November 24 that shows the fetch that generated it. It was just this one day, then it moved to the other side of New Zealand. Probably won't be noticeable in the water until tomorrow when Surfline calls for 0.9ft 18s, so still not much at all. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
