Waimea is the only buoy still showing a bit of the small NW swell I discussed yesterday, sign that it was very small indeed. Mokapu instead shows different periods of easterly windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is waist to belly, occasionally chest high. Bigger on eastern exposures.

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