A new pulse of NW energy is rising locally with Pauwela showing a small 17s reading (Surfline calls for 3ft 15s at sunset), together with a still noticeable 6ft 8s of ENE windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and a half with bigger sets in the afternoon. Also today Hookipa will be closed for the State High School surfing championship.

Barbers shows a very small amount of 18s southerly energy. It comes from the one day fetch that happened on the 23rd below. Nothing big to be expected, Surfline calls for 1ft 16s at sunset and 1.6ft 15s tomorrow. The cam doesn't show much, it's probably very inconsistent.

The small NW swell I discussed yesterday came up as predicted and today it shows 3ft 13s locally. The 5ft 12s reading at Hanalei suggest a slight increase throughout the day. Home guess for Hookipa is around head high with occasional bigger sets in the morning, possibly a bit bigger in the afternoon.

 Wind map at noon (one day old prediction). The other ones can be found here.

A series of small/moderate NW fetches happened in the last few days. Below are the maps of April 24 thorugh 26. That should result in a gradual increase of the NW energy in our waters, starting today (Surfline calls for 2.5ft 13s at sunset) and peaking Saturday (4ft 15s). Home guess for Hookipa is around waist to occasionally shoulder high in the morning, building to head high by the end of the day.
