Monday 1 12 26 morning call

No photos from yesterday (although I saw some of solid Honolua). This shot of me was taken by Tomoko. Foil Drive assisted SUP foiling is my favorite foiling discipline. Particularly with small waves and still water on the inside (unlike these days).

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore

No southerly energy at the buoys. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

The first XL NW swell of a series of three is down a bit from yesterday (7ft 14s), but the second one will already start building in the second half of the day and should be macking at sunset (11ft 17s called by Surfline). Home guess for Hookipa is around double overhead with occasional bigger sets and very clean in the morning with light Kona's before the arrival of the front in the satellite picture below will bring onshore winds in the afternoon.

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