Plenty small period energy from Nolo together with some 13s energy should provide tons of waves today. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

            , 6s, ENE 75º

Surprising amount of NW energy at the buoys (unless the Pauwela reading is a glitch). It comes from the fetch that happened on Sept 24 and 25 below. Together with the still high, but declining ENE windswell, that'll provide proper waves to the north shore. Home guess for Hookipa is head and a half to double.

The tiny amount of N energy at Pauwela will be completely overshadowed by the pumping windswell from 70 degrees associated with the strong winds of these day. Home guess for Hookipa is around head high with occasional bigger sets. Much bigger on eastern exposures.

Yesterday I overlooked the NNW readings and didn't think they were going to do much. Instead, as the the top picture shows, the swell went up to 3ft 13s and produced well overhead waves at Hookipa. It was generated by the fetch in the maps of September 18 and 19 below.

What's left of it today is those 3.3ft 11s at Waimea. Pauwela doesn't show any of that, but I'm sure there's still something in the water also here. Home guess for Hookipa is waist to shoulder high with occasional bigger sets.
