Lanai shows the start of a new long period SSW swell. Below are the maps of September 29 through October 2nd that show the fetch that generated it (black stick). It'll be characteristically very inconsistent to start with.

Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

NW swell peaked yesterday with solid double overhead plus sets on the other reefs. Today it's coming from the north and it should be slowly declining all day. Home guess for Hookipa is still head to head and a half and clean with no wind in the morning.

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