Very small southerly energy at Lanai, but there's lines on the cam (no, it's not a wrap). Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

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.

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

New solid NW swell is at the buoys. Below are the maps of October 10 through 14 that show the fetch that generated it. Home guess for Hookipa is around double to triple overhead.

Short period northerly energy continues at all buoys. A much bigger long period NNW swell is going to rise during the night (Surfline actually calls for 1ft 19s at sunset). Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to head high with occasional bigger sets, specially in the late afternoon.
