Lanai shows almost a foot 15s of the Tasman Sea swell I posted the fetch of yesterday, while there's still southerly 12-13s energy in the water. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Smallish period northerly energy is declining, but it will continue for the next few days. Home guess for Hookipa is shoulder to head high and no wind in the early morning, specially down the coast towards Kahului.

Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
