Hookipa yesterday.

My Sports Tracker app says that in 2025 I did a total of 320 downwind runs, all on the north shore: 204 with the wing (windsurfing), 114 Foil Drive assisted SUP foiling (mountain biking) and 2 with the Plume (kitesurfing). I don't keep track of my other foiling disciplines (FD assisted SUP foiling on waves, winging on waves and freeride pluming). The picture clearly shows the best months for downwinding in Maui: May through September.

No southerly energy at the buoys, but awesome looking sets on the cam. It either comes from the fetch ESE of New Zealand that happened on the maps Dec 20 through 22 below, or it's some westerly energy wrap.

There's still almost 4ft 13s of NNE energy at Pauwela, while new NW energy is on the way up. It comes from the fetch in the maps of Dec 25 through 28 below. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to occasionally head and a half in the morning, building to double plus at sunset.

Small N to NE energy is leftover at the local buoys while new short period NW energy is on the rise at the NW buoys. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to head high with occasional bigger sets and clean with no wind in the morning and a possible small increase in size at sunset.
