Look at today's fetch map below and you'll know where the high northerly energy at the buoys comes from. The onshore flow continues and conditions won't be particularly good, unless you find a sheltered place. Home guess for Hookipa is around double overhead plus and junky, this is the Kahului harbor instead.

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