Wednesday 7 3 24 morning call

Hookipa yesterday.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 1.4ft
        , 13s, S 190º
      • 0.8ft
        , 18s, S 175º
      • 1.2ft
        , 11s, S 175º

Lanai
      • 1.5ft
        , 13s, S 190º
      • 0.7ft
        , 17s, S 175º

Small southerly energies of different periods at the buoys. I believe the longest period one is the angular spreading of a swell aimed at central America. You can see the fetch (blue circle) in the map of June 26 below. Surfline only calls for 1.7ft 17s at sunset, but it might be less than that.

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

North shore

Hanalei

    • 1.6ft
      , 11s, NW 305º

Waimea

            • 1.2ft
              , 11s, WNW 300º

Pauwela

            • 4.1ft
              , 8s, E 95º
            • 3ft
              , 5s, ENE 70º
            • 0.8ft
              , 11s, NNW 330º

Very small declining NW energy at the buoys. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist high with occasionally bigger sets.

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