Friday 12 12 25 morning call

No photos from yesterday, this is the video of that accident at Nazare I tried to post a week ago, but failed. The Big Wave Challange contest is scheduled to start tonight at 11pm here.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

Surfline is down, no buoy info. Pauwela reads 7.5ft 13s on the Noaa page, but that the sum of all energies in the water, so it's not comparable to the break down of all different swells that Surfline does instead. Looking at the Paia Bay webcam, looks like fairly big waves also today.

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


Fetches map (circles legend: red: direct aim, blue: angular spreading, black: blocked, yellow: possibly over the ice sheet) from Windy.
North Pacific (about 4 days travel time from the NW corner of the North Pacific):

South Pacific (about 7 days travel time from east/west of New Zealand):

I always like the swell breakdown from pacioos: https://www.pacioos.hawaii.edu/waves/buoy-pauwela/
Their forecast charts are nice, too
