Plenty southerly energy at the buoys including a new long period one that comes from the fetch that happened on March 14 below. The local wind flow is still onshore though.

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

A bit of long period NW energy is going to add to the existing 11s N energy. It comes from the fetch in the maps of March 18 and 19 below. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and a half with occasional bigger sets.

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