Old small south swell down to 12-13s at the buoys, while new tiny 17s energy appears. Below are the maps of Oct 21 and 22 that show the fetch that generated the latter. Not much to be expected from it today, although Surfline calls for 1.5ft 15s by sunset.

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

N swell still shows a healthy 5ft 13s at Pauwela, but it should be trending down throughout the day. Together with the 5.5ft 8s from 35 that should provide plenty energy to the north shore (although a bit stormy). Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half to double waist high with occasional bigger sets.
