Thursday 7 31 25 morning call

Kanaha yesterday. That's a Hi-Tech customer renting the 3.0 F-One Frigate. That and the 3.5 are available to rent, while the two we received for retail sold right away. We ordered more, if you want to buy one, I'd recommend calling and asking to be put in the courtesy call list for when they arrive. You can move up to two days of rental towards the purchase of a brand new one (just keep the receipt).

End of July south swell n.1 is down to 14s (but still solid) while n.2 is now rising with 18s readings at the buoys (plus a solid SSE windswell). That's a really good combo, as the consistency should not be as low as usual... rather kinda pumping (for the south shore standards anyway). The maps of July 24 through 27 below show the fetch that generated swell n.2.

Wednesday 7 30 25 morning call

In case you've ever wondered how the docks of the habor's boat ramp look like below the normal water level, yesterday's tsunami showed just that. Not sure if the beach parks are going to be open this morning, but seeing people at Kalama Park is good sign, I guess.

Kanaha yesterday.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 1.1ft
        , 14s, S 190º

Lanai

        , 18s, S 190º
      • 0.7ft
        , 15s, SSW 205º

Small southerly energy at the buoys, but Lanai shows a promising 1 foot 18s of a new small long period swell that Surfline predicts to reach 2ft 14s tomorrow afternoon. It comes from the fetch in the maps of July 21 through 23 below and it's not yet the much bigger swell that will start arriving tomorrow afternoon and peak Thursday and Friday. 

Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency. (nothing showing yet).

The windswell is slowly picking back up after the weekend of relatively light trades, but from it's straight from the east, so the mome guess for Hookipa is still flat.
