Big unruly NNW swell finally went down some at the buoys, but with 4.7ft 13s at Pauwela, the waves will still be fairly big on the north shore today. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and half to double high with occasional bigger sets.

Big NNW swell continues today, if possible with even more unruly raw energy (all periods arriving simultaneously and very consistently). Home guess for Hookipa is around double to triple overhead with bigger sets. Seek for sheltered spots if you want to surf on the north shore. Upper west side will have plenty waves too. Honolua was firing yesterday and will be also today.
