Hookipa yesterday. Photo by Jimmie Hepp from this album.

Fishbowldiaries also posted a shot from yesterday. Browsinho has those tweaked aerials extremely dialed.

I used to windsurf Hookipa all the times, but now I enjoy this more. At the end of the video, I explain why.

5am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion.
South shore
Barbers is mostly reading NW wrap and can't be used to detect small southerly energy. Check the Lahaina and Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

3.6ft @ 12s from 303° (WNW)

0.8ft @ 22s from 335° (NNW)

The furthest upstream buoys show signs of long period energy from the next WNW swell, but I don't think we're going to see much of that today, if not at sunset (4.6ft 16s predicted by Surfline tomorrow morning instead). Today the remaining 12-13s energy will provide waves slightly smaller than yesterday, home guess for Hookipa is for head to head and a third high.
