Wednesday 9 24 25 morning call

Hookipa yesterday.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 1.7ft
        , 13s, S 190º
Lanai
      • 1.3ft
        , 17s, S 170º
      • 1.8ft
        , 11s, S 190º
New small long period south swell only shows 1.3ft 17s at Lanai and the occasional set on the cam. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

Pauwela

            • 3.1ft
              , 7s, ENE 60º
            • 0.4ft
              , 10s, NNE 30º
            • 0.3ft
              , 12s, NE 50º
Those 3ft 7s from 60 degrees is all we have in the water today. It's going to get much bigger tomorrow with the arrival of another short period N swell, but today the home guess for Hookipa is only around waist high with occasional bigger sets.

 Wind map at noon. New color scheme has more resolution (a different tone every 2 knots), the time stamp is not as clear though, as it's not in HST like before. You can calculate it by subtracting 10 to the "z" time on the top right (or add 2h and subtract 1day from the date of the MHT). I'll ask them if they can make it again in HST.
The other ones can be found here.
