Monday 9 28 26 morning call

Hookipa yesterday.


6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion

South shore
Barbers
      • 6.2ft
        , 9s, S 170º
      • 2.8ft
        , 13s, SSW 195º
      • 4.1ft
        , 6s, SSE 160º
Plenty small period energy from Nolo together with some 13s energy should provide tons of waves today. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

NW001

            • 1.3ft
              , 12s, NNW 345º
Waimea
            • 2.9ft
              , 12s, NW 325º

            • 1.3ft
              , 15s, NNW 340º

Pauwela

            • 4.3ft
              , 15s, NW 325º
            • 6.8ft
              , 9s, ENE 70º
            • 4.2ft
              , 6s, ENE 75º
Surprising amount of NW energy at the buoys (unless the Pauwela reading is a glitch). It comes from the fetch that happened on Sept 24 and 25 below. Together with the still high, but declining ENE windswell, that'll provide proper waves to the north shore. Home guess for Hookipa is head and a half to double.
