Small 13-14s southerly energy at the buoys. Lanai also shows half foot 20s indicating the slow start of a new long period swell that comes from the fetch below that happened on August 18 though 21. Not much from it today, Surfline calls for 1.5ft 16s tomorrow and 2ft 15s on Thursday.

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

Pauwela is back online and only shows easterly windswell. Hanalei and Waimea instead have 1ft 10s of N energy that comes from the fetch in the maps below of Augst 20 through 23. Surfline only predicts that to build to 1.5ft as it was a very weak fetch indeed. It should be noticeable anyway starting this afternoon, due to the extreme flat conditions we have at the moment on the north shore. Home guess for Hookipa is flat in the morning and hopefully knee to waist high by the end of the day.
