Two new NW swells on the rise at the buoys. The longer period one comes from the fetch indicated with the black arrow in the maps of Nov 30 through Dec 3 below. Not sure if the 8ft 12s reading at Hanalei comes from the fetch indicated by the red arrow (seems a bit too much).

Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and half with bigger sets that will increase in size all the way to sunset and clean conditions.

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