While the very long lasting south swell is dissipating, but still with some energy in the water, a new small long period one appeared at the buoys. Below are the maps of May 2 to 3 that show the angular spreading fetch that generated it. Expect extremely low consistency in the long period sets, but there should also be a bit of leftover shorter period energy from the previous swell.

Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
