5ft 11 of northerly energy at all the buoys, a bit smaller at Pauwela. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and a half with occasional bigger sets.

    • 2.1ft

      , 13s, WNW 295º
    • 2.4ft

      , 9s, W 270º

Both buoys show solid long period southerly energy readings while Lanai still also has some leftover westerly energy. The south comes from the fetch in the maps of March 9 through 13 below. The readings are solid, but the cam doesn't shows much instead. It's probably very inconsistent.

The energy at the buoys today comes more from the north and below are the maps of March 15 through 18 below showing the fetch that generated it. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half to double and no wind in the morning.

Decent amount of NW energy at the buoys from a fetch that I struggle to identify (I only see fetches from the north on the maps of the past days). Home guess for Hookipa is around head to occasionally head and half with a building trend (Surfline calls for 6ft 12s at sunset).
