This video shows why I think the F1 wings are the best pumping wings. Stiffer wings require a sophisticated pumping movement (much like a cambered slalom windsurfing sail), while the F1's are flexible and they generate forward momentum just by shaking them (much like a flexible top wave windsurf sail).
South shore
Barbers is mostly reading NW wrap and can't be used to detect small southerly energy. Check the Lahaina and Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
North shore
NW101
7.6ft @ 14s from 308° (WNW)
Hanalei
7.8ft @ 13s from 313° (NW)
Waimea
6.9ft @ 14s from 314° (NW)
Mokapu
4.5ft @ 9s from 55° (ENE)
Hilo
6.1ft @ 9s from 73° (ENE)
WNW swell continues at the buoys. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half in the sets, smaller down the coast.
