First NW swell of the season is on the decline. This is the beach report I posted earlier:
6.45am hookipa has fun looking head to head and a third high waves. Bit inconsistent and pretty clean with light sideoff. 

7.5

More NW energy is on the way, as reported by this NOAA page:
A northwest swell will gradually ease through today. A larger north-northwest swell should begin to fill in tonight and peak Friday. Notice how the Pauwela forecast below only shows the arrival of this second swell tomorrow morning.

Forecast of Pauwela from this PACIOOS page.
