The buoys show a tiny amount of new NW energy, but not enough to be noticed in the water, so also today it's going to be mostly about the easterly windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist to chest high.

      , 17s, SSW 200º
    • 1.8ft

      , 11s, SSW 205º

Both buoys show 1.8ft 11s of southerly energy while Lanai also shows a 17s reading that marks the beginning of a long lasting long period swell that will build in the next few days. It comes from the fetch that happened in the maps of May 9 through 13 below. Surfline calls for 1.5ft 16s at sunset.
