South swell down to 13s at the buoys, but still nice sets on the cam. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Some of the buoys show the easterly swell generated by Kiko. Pauwela reads 5ft 10s of it, and it should increase throughout the day and turn more NE, in which case it will hit our north shore better. Very small NW energy remains in the water. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist high with occasional bigger sets. Much bigger on eastern exposures.
