The Aloha Classic windsurfing contest waiting period starts today and will last until Nov 3rd. They can use five of those days for the contest and the call for the day will be posted after 9am on IWT Instagram and Facebook pages. It looks unlikely they will run anything until next week, as an approaching front over Kauai will bring Kona or variable winds this week... unless they call it on today as the Kona should get fairly strong.

New NW swell will rise steadily throughout the day. Below are the maps of October 18 through 23 that show the fetch that generated it. Home guess for Hookipa is chest high in the morning, building to overhead at the end of the day. Kona winds.
