Monday 6 17 24 morning call

North shore yesterday.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 2.2ft
        , 13s, S 185º

      • 0.7ft
        , 17s, S 190º

Lanai
      • 1.9ft
        , 13s, S 170º
      • 1.3ft
        , 11s, SSW 195º

Despite the couple of feet 13s still at the buoys, the webcam shows that the old south swell seems to have given all it had to give. Barbers shows a small 17s reading from 190 and I looked for the possible source. Below are the maps of June 12 to 15 and I marked the possible source with a black arrow. The red arrows instead, show a fetch in the Tasman Sea (210 to 200 degrees). Medium terms Surfline forecast doesn't call for much from either one, we shall wait and see.

Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

NW001

            • 2.2ft
              , 11s, NNW 330º

Hanalei

    • 1.8ft
      , 13s, NW 320º

Waimea

            • 1.7ft
              , 13s, NW 315º

Pauwela

            • 3.8ft
              , 8s, ENE 75º
            • 3.3ft
              , 5s, ENE 70º
            • 0.8ft
              , 13s, WNW 295º

New small NW energy appeared at the buoys. Below are the maps of June 12 to 15 that show the fetch that generated it.

Surfline only calls for 1.5ft 12s at sunset. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist high with possible bigger sets of easterly windswell waves with the occasional NW sets that might get up to chest to shoulder high later in the day.

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