Long period NW swell is down to small levels at the Waimea buoy but is still pretty high at the Hanalei and N buoys, go figure. Meanwhile a new short period NNE swell picked up. Below are the maps of November30 through December 3 that show the fetch that generated (back arrow). As you can see another NNE fetch (red arrow) formed right after it, so we'll have continued NNE energy for the first part of the week.

Home guess for Hookipa is head and a half. Kahului harbor will have waves (HSA contest at the Jetty), as it shows in the picture below.

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