Monday October 21st is the start of the Aloha Classic windsurfing contest. All the best sailors in the world are here and yesterday they put up a huge show at massive and unruly Hookipa. Photo by Jimmie Hepp from this album.

Very small southerly energy at Lanai, but there's lines on the cam (no, it's not a wrap). Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Big NNW swell continues today, if possible with even more unruly raw energy (all periods arriving simultaneously and very consistently). Home guess for Hookipa is around double to triple overhead with bigger sets. Seek for sheltered spots if you want to surf on the north shore. Upper west side will have plenty waves too. Honolua was firing yesterday and will be also today.
