Friday 11 6 26 morning call

I made this video to show how I measure the angle of foil tails.


6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore

Still no useful readings at Barbers, the Surfline forecast calls for 2ft 15s, but we have no buoys to confirm that. The cam shows the occasional small set, but sure doesn't look like that much. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Around 6ft 15s of NW swell in our local waters plus almost 6ft 9s of easterly windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is double overhead plus and stormy due to strong wind and windswell.
