Friday 6 26 26 morning call

I just posted this video to explain what made me change my opinion about parawing downwinders.


Hookipa yesterday.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 1.7ft
        , 14s, S 190º

      • 0.8ft
        , 12s, SSW 200º

        , 14s, S 180º
      • 0.7ft
        , 11s, S 180º

Couple of feet 14s of southerly energy at the buoys, but not much on the cam. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

Pauwela

ENE windswell is high. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist to chest high with occasional bigger sets.
