Monday 1 8 24 morning call

Hookipa yesterday evening.

7am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore

No southerly energy at Barbers. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

NW001

    • 9.7ft
      , 14s, NW 315º

Waimea

      • 1.5ft
        , 11s, NNW 345º
      • 1.8ft
        , 9s, NNE 15º
      • 1ft
        , 14s, NW 310º

Pauwela

      • 6.8ft
        , 11s, E 85º

NW energy down to minimal levels locally while the NW buoys are already coming up for the next swell. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to shoulder high (mostly easterly windswell) and kona. It should start coming up in the afternoon (Surfline calling for 3ft 16s from 316 at sunset). Easterly exposures overhead instead. We're in a southerly flow for an approaching front and that'll make for 4 days of Kona.

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