Very small southerly energy at the buoys. Both buoys show the beginning of a new long period swell. Below are the maps of August 18 to 20 that show the fetch that generated it. Surfline calls for 2.2ft 16s by the end of the day.

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

Easterly windswell only in the water. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist high with occasional bigger sets. Bigger on eastern exposures.
