Ultra deserved world title win by Italo Ferreira yesterday at Pipe. Congrats and thanks for pushing the performance level of surfing higher and higher.
Here's some Maui local talent in action at Hookipa yesterday (photo by Jimmie Hepp from this album). Imai deVault did great in the Pipe Invitational and earned a spot in the main event, where he lost to Gabriel Medina in the round of 32, although scoring the highest wave of the heat: a whooping 9.57!
My pick of the windsurfing album.
4am significant buoy readings and discussion

No southerly energy at the buoys, check the Lahaina webcam to see what's there.

Below is the Pauwela's graph together with the Surfline forecast for the next two days. NW swell holding pretty steady around 5-6ft (although coming down in period) should still provide the highest energy for the day (Hookipa probably head and a half). Notice tomorrow's forecast: the blue line says 13ft 8s from 69. For the downwinders of all sorts, that's the equivalent of the biggest swell of the year at Jaws.

North Pacific has the small fetches circled in red in the map below. That strong high pressure to our north is going to move east a bit and tomorrow we'll be immersed in that fetch of strong easterlies that I circled in yellow. That will be the source of that massive windswell episode mentioned above.
Couple of fetches down under too.
Morning sky.
