Saturday 10 5 24 morning call

Not sure if it's yesterday, this was posted by Robert Johnson.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers

      • 0.6ft
        , 14s, S 190º

Small southerly energy at the buoys. Lanai shows half foot 20s of an upcoming big swell that will peak tomorrow and Monday. Below are the maps of Sept 28 through Oct 1 that show the fetch that generated it. Surfline calls for 1.5ft 18s at sunset (usual very low consistency of a long period south swell for today) and 3ft 16s tomorrow.
