Sunday 10 11 26 morning call

Hookipa yesterday.

South shore
Barbers

        , 18s, S 190º
      • 2.5ft
        , 14s, SSW 200º
Almost 3ft 18s from the mostly angular fetch that happened in the maps of Oct 4 and 5 below, together with 2.5ft 14s of the previous swell should make for plenty waves on the south facing shores today.  Watch out for inconsistent big sets.

Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

NW001

            • 3.5ft
              , 14s, WNW 295º
Waimea
            • 1.5ft
              , 15s, NW 320º
Pauwela
  • 2.1ft
    , 11s, N 355º
  • 1.6ft
    , 13s, ENE 75º
  • 2.7ft
    , 7s, E 80º

The 14-15s NW energy at NW and Waimea should come from the small fetch that happened on the maps of Oct 6 through 8 below. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist to chest high in the morning, possibly building up to head high in the afternoon.

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