Saturday 8 15 26 morning call

Hookipa yesterday.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 2.6ft
        , 14s, S 190º
      • 1.5ft
        , 12s, S 180º
South swell on its way down, but still showing 2.4ft 14s at Barbers. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

Pauwela

            • 7.9ft
              , 11s, E 95º
            • 6ft
              , 8s, ENE 70º
            • 3ft
              , 4s, NE 50º
Easterly windswell ramped up due to the strong winds associated with Lala. Home guess for Hookipa is around head high with occasional bigger sets, much bigger on eastern exposures. Most likely beach parks will be closed (although I haven't find a confirmation online).

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