Sunday 5 18 25 morning call

Hookipa yesterday afternoon.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 1.1ft
        , 18s, SSW 200º
      • 0.7ft
        , 13s, SSW 195º

Lanai
      • 1.4ft

        , 6s, SSE 160º
      • 0.9ft
        , 13s, S 185º

Small southerly energy at the buoys. The new small 18s readings come from the fetch below that happened on May 10th. A one day fetch, so not much to be expected from it.

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

Elevated easterly windswell only in the water. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist to chest high with occasional bigger sets. Much bigger on eastern exposures.

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