Both buoys show almost a foot 20s of a new swell from 205. If the direction is correct, the fetch can only be the one S of New Zealand in the map below of October7th. Seems early, but 20s periods move fast.

Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

A mix of NW swells is at the buoys. The NW one shows a solid 5.8ft 13s, so expect the size to increase tonight and tomorrow. Home guess for Hookipa is chest to head high in the morning, a little bigger at sunset.

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