The Aloha Classic started at Hookipa yesterday. Possible finish of the Pro's today in very marginal wind conditions, as the forecast for the rest of the week looks pretty dismal. Streaming on the IWT Youtube channel. Photo by Jimmie Hepp from this album.

NW buoy went up a notch so expect the waves to come up throughout the day (Surfline calling for 5ft 12s at sunset). Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to head high and clean in the morning, possibly overhead in the late afternoon.
