Friday 7 17 26 morning call

Today is the day of the Maui to Molokai race. You can follow the dots here.

Hookipa yesterday.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 2ft
        , 17s, SSW 195º
      • 1.2ft

Nice SSW readings at Barbers and good waves on the cam. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

NW001

            • 2.4ft
              , 13s, WNW 290º

Pauwela

            • 3.4ft
              , 8s, NNE 30º

              , 15s, NW 320º
Westerly energy still trying to wrap around and make it to our north shore, but I still doubt we'll feel much other than the usual NNE windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is waist to chest high.

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