Tuesday 2 11 25 morning call

Hookipa yesterday morning.



I'm the buyer of the F-One foils at Hi-Tech and am quite proud of the F-One rack at the moment: we have SK8 V2, Eagle, EagleX and Momentum all neatly stacked up in order of A/R. No other brand has such a clear division between models, IMO. And that's only one of the many factors that make F-One my favorite foil brand. Come to Hi-Tech on Mondays 2pm to 6pm if you want to talk F-One foils with me.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 3.4ft
        , 14s, WNW 285º

Lanai
      • 2ft
        , 14s, WNW 290º

No southerly energy at the buoys, but the WNW energy they report could send inconsistent sets to the Kihei coast. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

The NW buoys bumped up again, so it's likely we'll see an increase locally towards the end of the day. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and a half and clean with no wind in the early morning, possibly building to double overhead at sunset.

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