Very small S-SSE energy at the buoys. Below are the maps of November 17 and 18 showing the small fetch that generated it.

Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

NW swell peaked yesterday and today it will be slowly declining. Notice that the direction at the NW buoys is now 325, so during the day it will also turn more north, which usually means we get more consistent energy. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half and windy with lots of windswell (see Mokapu) in the mix.

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