First decent size south swell of the season is showing small very long period readings at the buoys. Below are the maps of April 30 through May 3. Expect low consistency for today, while it very slowly builds throught the day (Surfline calls for 2ft 19s at sunset).

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