There have been NE fetches since almost a week or so and we started receiving the related energy yesterday afternoon (see Hookipa picture at the top). Fausto's swell should also start arriving this afternoon but mostly from a 90 degrees direction. The swell will keep building and slightly turn north following the track of the storm, and Surfline predicts a whooping 10ft 13s from 72 degrees on Tuesday. Home guess for
Hookipa today is around chest to head high with occasional bigger sets.
Wind map at noon. The other ones can be foundhere.

Solid numbers at Barbers, the swell should be pumping today (within the intrinsic inconsistency of angular spreading swells). Check theKiheiwebcam if interested,

Three different periods of ENE windswell all coming from 70 degrees (which barely gets to Hookipa, not so much down the coast). Home guess for
Hookipa is around knee to waist high with occasional bigger sets.

The SSW swell I discussed yesterday shows 2.5ft 20s while there's still 2ft 14s of the previous swell. Keeping in mind the characteristic inconsistency of an angular spreading swell, today there should be some occasional fairly large sets on the south shore. Check theKiheiwebcam if interested,
for size, conditions and consistency.

This is a 20 minutes uncut footage of a parawing downwind run. Good headphones strongly recommended, as the music is a big part of it.

Plenty southerly energy of different periods including a 25s reading from a new very long period swell that Surfline predicts to reach 2ft 23s at sunset. It comes from the mostly angular spreading fetch that happened on July 16 through 19 (maps below).
Plenty waves on the cam, although mostly from the already existing 14s south swell. Check theKiheiwebcam if interested,
for size, conditions and consistency.

Born and raised in Italy, I became an engineer and worked 11 years in the IT industry. Sick of that, in 2001 I wanted to take a year off and spend it in Maui, the best windsurfing spot in the world. Not only I'm still here (in Maui), but I also got into surfing. And the stoke is flying high. Life is too short to work 8 hours a day...
