Friday 10 16 26 morning call

Hookipa yesterday.




6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion
.
South shore
Barbers
      • 2.3ft
        , 17s, S 175º
      • 1.8ft
        , 9s, S 185º
      • 1.3ft
        , 11s, S 180º
The 2.3ft 17s at Barbers are even in the forecast, but I can't find a fetch for it. Not much on the cam, probably very inconsistent. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

NW001

            • 4.7ft
              , 11s, N 0º
Waimea
            • 2.6ft
              , 11s, NNW 330º
Pauwela is down and Waimea only shows small NW leftover energy. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to shoulder high with a possible increase at sunset.

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