Sunday 7 21 24 morning call

Kanaha yesterday.


Today there's the Molokai to Oahu race. You can follow the dots of the competitors and the results on this page.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 2.2ft
        , 13s, S 175º

Lanai
      • 1.6ft
        , 13s, S 175º

Small southerly energy at the buoys. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

Hanalei

    • 1.8ft
      , 8s, NNW 345º

Waimea

            • 2ft
              , 8s, N 0º

Pauwela

            • 3.1ft
              , 6s, E 80º
            • 2.7ft
              , 4s, E 90º

The small fetches associated with a weak Gulf of Alaska low indicated in the maps below of July 17 through 19 are the source of those couple of feet 8s at the outer buoys. That small energy should reach Maui in the afternoon, but don't expect that much of a change in the local wave action. Home guess for Hookipa is flat to knee high in the morning with possible waist high waves in the afternoon.

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