North shore
NW001

  • 6.2ft
    , 13s, NW 325º

Hanalei

  • 6.7ft
    , 13s, NNW 330º

Waimea

  • 8.8ft
    , 14s, NNW 330º

Mokapu

  • 2.9ft
    , 5s, ENE 70º

NW swell picked up as predicted and is showing 8.8ft 14s at Waimea. Home guess for Hookipa is double ovehead and relatively clean thanks to the lack of other swells and wind in the first hours of the morning.

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