The buoys show a new 17s energy from 200. Below are the maps of May 9 through 12 that show the fetch that generated it indicated with a red stick. I used a black stick instead to indicate the fetch that generated a much bigger swell that should start arriving tomorrow and overlap to today's one bringing the size up a couple of notches. Surfline calls for 2.8ft 15s for the first and 2.8ft 18s for the second tomorrow afternoon. A lot will depend on the wind, which will follow the unsettled weather pattern associated with a low developing to our north.

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

In the past few days there have been multiple small fetches that generated the different NW-N energies at the buoys. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist to shoulder high with possible bigger sets.

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