Very small Tasman Sea energy at Barbers. Below are the maps of March 13 through 15 that show the fetch that generated it.

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

NW swell is declining at the buoys while the NW one shows new 1.6ft 15s energy from 295. Below are the maps of March 18 to 20 that show the fetch that generated it. Not much to be expected on our north shore today (surfline calls for 1ft 16s at 6pm, building to 4ft 15s at 6pm tomorrow). Home guess for Hookipa is around head high.

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