Short period WNW energy rose significantly at the buoys. Hard to guess how much of it we're going to get it, for sure Hookipa will receive more than other spots more east of it that will be sheltered by the West Maui Mountain. No shelter for the 1.4ft 13s from 25 degrees that Mokapu is showing though.
Home guess for Hookipa is such a shot in the dark without Pauwela that I almost feel like not doing it. But whatever, a guess is a guess: head high with possible bigger sets. No wind for the first part of the morning, light sea breeze for the rest of the day.
