Kanaha yesterday. I didn't see this guy's attempt to wing on a surfboard, it seemed not windy enough for that.

Both buoys show some decent energy. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Hanalei and Waimea (this last one recently back online) show some westerly energy out of the typhoons off Japan, but that's to west to reach Maui's north shore. The easterly windswell comes from 95 degrees and that's not gonna hit it either. Home guess for Hookipa is flat.

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