Both buoys show small very long period readings of a first swell that is going to build today, commencing a whole week of waves with a second larger swell arriving on Tuesday. This first pulse comes from the angular spreading fetch you see in the maps of May 21 through 23 below. Expect solid sets but low consistency.

Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

NW swell hanging in there with 2.4ft 13s at Pauwela, while the ENE windswell keeps steady at 5ft 8s. Home guess for Hookipa is around shoulder to head high with occasional bigger sets.

Both buoys show 3ft 13s of southerly energy while Lanai also shows a tiny 25s reading of a fairly large long period swell that will arrive tomorrow, peak on the weekend and then provide waves for most of next week. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

New NW swell is performing a little under the prediction at Pauwela (surfline calls for 3ft 15s instead of the recorded 2). Might just be a bit late, as the numbers at the outer buoys are better and the Sunset Beach cam shows inconsistent double overhead sets on the cam (see below). Home guess for Hookipa is around head to occasionally head and a half with possible bigger sets in the second half of the day.
