The small NW readings you see at the buoys come from the fetch in the maps of June 11 through 14 below. It's not going to be much at all today, but hopefully will build a bit tomorrow. Home guess for Hookipa is flat to knee high with a possible small increase at sunset.

 Wind map at noon (1 day old prediction). The other ones can be found here.

The highlights of a surf contest at Ala Moana yesterday give us an idea of the size of the south swell.

South swell continues with impressive readings at the buoys. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Just like yesterday, those tiny WNW readings are too small and too west to do anything here, the tiny NE windswell at Pauwela could make for knee to waist high waves at Hookipa.
