The 15s reading is probably the wrap of the westerly energy and the cam shows very good waves. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Westerly energy still at the outer buoys but still won't make it to our north shore, which instead will benefit from the current NNE direction of the windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is waist to chest high.

Lanai is down, Barbers (and the other buoys below) show the westerly energy of the Typhoon Bavi and the cam shows excellent waves on that coast. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

The westerly energy won't make it to the north shore, so just the usual NE windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is waist to chest high.

The westerly energy at Hanalei and Waimea (and Pauwela too, even though it shows it coming from the NW) was generated by the typhoon that ended up hitting Taiwan a few days ago. That energy won't make it to our north shore, but it could be felt on the Kihei and Wailea coasts. Meanwhile, the NE windswell is on the way down as the trades should relax for a couple of days. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist high with occasional bigger sets.
