Southerly energy coming from the fetch highlighted yesterday shows 2ft 14s at Lanai. There will also be southerly windswell in the water (because of the approaching front that you see over Kauai in the satellite picture), so expect less organized than usual breaking patterns. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Only small easterly windswell in the water, home guess for Hookipa is flat to waist high, bigger on eastern exposures.
