Small southerly swell coming down in period at the buoys, but still showing some nice sets on the cam. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Small short period NNW-N energy is rising at the buoys and should arrive locally in the afternoon and peak tomorrow. The maps of August 27 through 31 below show the fetch that generated it, indicated by a black arrow. The red arrow instead indicates a different fetch that generated another small but longer period NW swell that Surfline predicts to reach 2ft 15s on Tuesday. Home guess for Hookipa is flat in the morning and waist high by the end of the day.

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

Small southerly energy at Lanai while Barbers shows 2ft 17s of a new long period swell. My guess is that it comes from the last days of the fetch below that was in place till August 21st and that I already posted a few days ago. In fact, I can't find anything else for a week after that. Surfline calls for 2.5ft 16 by the end of the day.

          • 2ft

            , 4s, E 80º

The residual 8s northerly energy shown by Waimea is negligible and all there is in our waters is a small easterly windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is flat.
