Friday 9 20 24 morning call

Hookipa yesterday.

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

        , 13s, S 170º
      • 1.6ft

Lanai

      • 0.6ft
        , 20s, SSW 200º

Small southerly energy at the buoys. Both show half foot 20s of Tasman Sea energy that comes from the one day fetch that happened on the 13th (map below). Surfline calls for 1ft 18s by the end of the day (so not much to be excited about).

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

North shore

Waimea

            • 0.9ft
              , 11s, NW 310º

Pauwela

            • 3ft
              , 8s, E 85º
            • 3.2ft
              , 5s, ENE 70º
            • 0.7ft
              , 11s, ENE 70º

Mostly easterly windswell at Pauwela. Waimea still shows one foot 11s of NW energy, but that won't make much of a difference. Home guess for Hookipa is flat to waist high.

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