I went at sunset, but the waves were like a 4 for surfing.
This is Bart in some very challenging conditions to wing foil. Him and another guy called Dylan have been inspiring me and yesterday I rode my very first (small) waves with the wing. Really fun, but not so much the wipeouts in the impact zone!

Lovely small long period energy at the buoy, courtesy of the fetch below that happened down south on April 30.
Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

The NNW swell peaked yesterday and today it will be a bit smaller, but still overhead at Hookipa (also thanks to the elevated windswell). The wind is going to be lighter than the past few days.
Wind map at noon (the other ones can be found at link n.-2 of GP's meteo websites list in the right column).
