Hookipa yesterday. Photo by Jimmie Hepp from this album.
Excellent downwind conditions continue. Here's a clip from my first run (winging).
This is a clip from my second run (Foil Drive assisted Sup foiling). Been doing two runs a day for the last 8 days in a row and there's 4-5 more days of strong wind ahead.

NW101
- 2.4ft, 15s, WNW 300º
Hanalei
- 5.3ft, 11s, ENE 75º
- 1.5ft, 17s, NNW 330º
Waimea
- 4.1ft, 11s, N 350º
- 1.7ft, 17s, NW 320º
Pauwela
- 7ft, 10s, E 95º
- 2.9ft, 11s, NNE 25º
- 1ft, 18s, NW 315º
Three swells in the water at Pauwela: an pumping easterly windswell, the leftover of the last NW swell now locally coming from a NNE direction and a new distantly generated long period NW one. The maps below of October 8 through 11 show the evolution of the fetch that started in the Kamchatka corner and generated this last one. Surfline calls for 3.5ft 15s at sunset. Home guess for Hookipa is around head high to slightly overhead in the morning, well overhead in the late afternoon.
Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
