XL NW swell peaked yesterday and today is down to 6ft 13s at Waimea, which is a much more manageable size. There's a bit of a southerly flow (Lahaina screenshot confirms that) and that should clean up the waves on the north shore, but there's also many different periods in the water. Home guess for Hookipa is for double overhead and clean faces, but with irregular breaking patterns and a bit jumbled up.

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