NW energy down to almost nothing at the buoys, most of the waves will be provided by the N to NNE energy at Hanalei and Waimea. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and a third high and blown out. Get used to the blown out part, as the Windguru table below is calling for strong easterly for at least 10 days. Striking difference with the conditions we had so far, but variety is one of the reasons why Maui is the multi-discipline paradise that it is.
