10ft 15s at Pauwela mean that it's going to be another day of large waves on the north shore. Home guess for Hookipa is double to triple overhead and no wind in the morning. Only sheltered spots like the Kahului harbor will be surfable by the common mortals.

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