Monday 7 14 25 morning call

I filmed (or tried to) the arrival of the Paddle Imua. Full results linked in the video description.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 1.5ft
        , 11s, SSE 165º
      • 1.2ft
        , 13s, S 185º

Lanai
      • 1.3ft
        , 13s, S 180º
      • 0.7ft
        , 17s, S 190º

Small southerly energy at the buoys with Lanai also showing 0.7ft of 17s energy. It comes from the angular spreading fetch (blue circle) in the maps of July 6 and 7 below. It should slowly increase throughout the day and Surfline calls for 1.5ft 17s at sunset.

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

North shore

NW101

  • 2.4ft
    , 11s, NW 315º

Hanalei

  • 0.6ft
    , 13s, NNW 340º
  • 0.4ft
    , 10s, NNW 335º

Mokapu

            • 6.5ft
              , 6s, E 80º
Little out of season NW swell is showing at the NW and Hanalei buoys. It was generated by the fetch in the maps of July 9 and 10 below. Surfline only calls for 1.3ft 12s at sunset. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist high with occasionally bigger sets of easterly windswell in the morning with some possible chest high NW sets in the late afternoon.

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