The mix of moderate medium period NW and short period NE energies continue. Home guess for Hookipa is head high to occasionally bigger. The conditions will be influenced by the strong ESE flow that might leave the Kahului spots with no wind in the morning and, depending on how sunny the day will be, might fill in instead in the afternoon, like the map below suggests.
