A couple of very small NW swells appeared at the buoys. Below are the maps of June 4 through 6 that show:
- the remote fetch that generated the 14s energy at Hanalei and Waimea (black stick). Surfline has this one increasing all day today and tomorrow, but only to reach 2.5ft 13s on Friday morning.
- the nearby very weak fetch that generated the 8s energy at the NW buoy (yellow stick).

Meanwhile, the windswell hss almost disappeared completely due the the light trades and the lack of an upstream fetch. Home guess for Hookipa is flat with possible occasional waist high sets here and there.
