Tiny southerly energy at the buoys and pretty much nothing on the webcam. The small 18s period readings indicate the slow start of a new long period swell that will start being noticeable in the next few days (I'll post the fetch tomorrow). Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Easterly windswell only at Pauwela. The NW101 shows 3ft 10s from 330. Below are the maps of August 4 though 6 that show the fetch that generated it. Home guess for Hookipa is flat in the morning with possible waist to belly high sets at sunset (Surfline calls for 1.5ft 9s).

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