New pulse of swell did not disappoint (specially if your expectations were set right by reading Pat Caldwell). Beautiful waves everywhere, this is Maalaea where I only stopped 5 minutes to take a couple of shots.
There were much better sets than this when I arrived and when I left...
4am significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers
3.6ft @ 15s from 179° (S)
Lanai
2.9ft @ 14s from 188° (S)
Period already down to 15-14s, but size is definitely still there.
Check the Lahaina webcam
if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Small waves at Hookipa, bigger on eastern exposures.

Fetches map (circles legend: red: direct aim, blue:
angular spreading, black: blocked, yellow: apparent direct aim,
but out of the great circle ray map, so not 100% sure).

of the North Pacific):
