Lanai records an impressive 4.6ft 18s from the Tahiti swell. Consistency might still be low, but the sets should be solid. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

NW swell peaked and now is on the slow decline, but still with decent numbers at the buoys. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to occasionally head and a half.
