    , 18s, SW 215º

The south swell I discussed yesterday is showing good size at the buoys, while Lanai also shows 1ft 18s of a new Tasman Sea swell. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

NW swell holds steady at the local buoys. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half to double and clean conditions.
