As reported below this post, Hookipa was excellent again in the early morning, but already around 7am there was some texture from the trades that are predicted to come back, as indicated by this NOAA page:
A high pressure ridge will build and lift slowly northwest of the islands over the next few days, slowly increasing trade winds across the region.

It should stay around head high all day, with a slow downward trend as indicated by the PACIOOS forecast below (notice the next NW swell on July 2nd).

Forecast and energy spectrum of Pauwela from this PACIOOS page.
