Tuesday 1 27 26 morning call

Hookipa yesterday morning.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 1.1ft
        , 15s, SSW 205º
Lanai
      • 0.8ft
        , 17s, SSW 195º
      • 0.9ft
        , 13s, W 275º
Small long period southerly energy from the fetch I posted yesterday is still at the buoys while Lanai also shows a small westerly wrap. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

            • 5ft

            • 2.1ft
              , 11s, NW 325º
New moderate NW energy is rising the buoys. It comes from the fetch that happened on Jan 23 and 24 below. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and a half and clean with a building trend throughout the day (Surfline calls for 6ft 13s at sunset, although the NW buoys readings show less than that).

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

Monday 1 26 26 morning call

Hookipa yesterday morning.



6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore
Barbers
      • 0.7ft
        , 18s, SSW 200º
Lanai
      • 1.1ft
        , 13s, W 280º

      • 0.5ft
        , 18s, S 180º
Both buoys show a tiny amount of long period southerly energy. It probably comes from the angular spreading of the strong fetch oriented towards south America that happened on Jan 18 below.

Expect very low consistency out of that, but there's sets like the one in the picture below. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

NW001

            • 3.9ft
              , 11s, WNW 300º
            • 4ft
              , 8s, NNW 340º
            • 2.1ft
              , 14s, WNW 300º

Hanalei

        , 8s, NNE 20º

      • 1.1ft
        , 13s, WNW 300º

Waimea

            • 6.8ft
              , 7s, N 0º
            • 1.1ft
              , 13s, NW 315º
            • 0.7ft
              , 11s, NNW 330º

Pauwela

            • 1.6ft
              , 13s, NW 320º
            • 2.1ft
              , 8s, E 85º
            • 0.8ft
              , 9s, NNE 25º
NW energy down to minimal levels at Pauwela, while the upstream buoys suggest an increase of short period N energy in the afternoon, together with a momentary return of light trades. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist to occasionally chest high with some flat spells and clean with no wind in the morning, getting bigger and windier in the afternoon.

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