Saturday 1 25 25 morning call

No photos from yesterday. This is an extremely good video with tips on how to ready the bumps and be efficient on a downwinder.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore

No southerly energy at the buoys and nothing on the cam. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

NW001

            • 6.3ft
              , 11s, N 5º
            • 2.1ft
              , 8s, N 355º

Hanalei

    • 6.1ft
      , 11s, N 0º

Waimea

            • 8.2ft
              , 12s, NNW 340º
Solid NNW to N energy continues at the buoys. The period is short because it comes from the very close by fetch that happened on Jan 22 through 24 (maps below). Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half to double with a very high consistency.

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