Wewdnesday 2 4 26 morning call

No photos from yesterday, this is the usual Mr Bennetts at Uluwatu in Bali, a spot I use to go to in summer time before Covid and most importantly before foiling. No need to go there anymore as summer downwinding is plenty fun enough for me.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore

Plenty westerly wrap at Lanai. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Just like yesterday, the XL stormy NW swell is going to make all spots on the north shore inaccessible with the exception of the sheltered ones. Home guess for Hookipa is around triple overhead and all over the place.

 Wind map at noon (one day old prediction). The other ones can be found here.
