Wednesday 5 14 25 morning call

Hookipa yesterday afternoon.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 2.7ft
        , 13s, S 180º

Lanai
      • 2.4ft
        , 12s, S 190º
      • 1ft
        , 17s, SSW 200º

South swell down to 12-13s but still decent on the cam. Lanai shows 1ft 17s from 200, but I couldn't find a possible generating fetch for it (usually not a good sign). Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

NW101

            • 3.2ft
              , 10s, NW 305º

Hanalei

    • 1.3ft
      , 11s, NW 320º

Waimea

            • 1.2ft
              , 11s, NW 325º

Pauwela

            • 5ft
              , 8s, ENE 65º
            • 2.8ft
              , 5s, ENE 65º
            • 0.9ft
              , 12s, NW 320º
Very small NW energy at the buoys, once again it's all about the ENE windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist to chest high.

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