Hookipa yesterday afternoon.

This is how John John won the HIC at Pipe yesterday.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.

Hanalei shows the old NW swell down to 3ft 12s and a new one (also pretty west) at 1ft 18s. We might see something from this last one at sunset. Home guess for Hookipa in the morning is for head to head and a third.

Here's an abstract from this NOAA page: Trade winds will gradually increase over the next couple of days. Strong high pressure far north of the state is currently driving moderate to locally strong trade winds. Below is the Windguru table for the next 10 days that shows just that. The strong trades will be accompanied by lots of rain squalls and NNE swells.
