Very small southerly energy at Lanai. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency. The image below still shows a bit of north wrap.

    , 12s, NNE 20º

The big NNE swell has declined but still shows decent numbers at Mokapu and Hilo, so it should still provide plenty waves for the day. Meanwhile a new long period NW swell is just starting to show at NW and Hanalei. Below are the maps of November 25 through 27 that show the fetch that generated it.


This is the Surfline forecast for the next couple of days. As you can see, the NW will be noticeable locally more tomorrow than today.

Home guess for Hookipa in the morning is around head to head and a half based exclusively on the leftover NNE energy. The NW energy might provide some head high sets in the late afternoon.

Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
