New NNW swell is at the buoys. Below are the maps of November 2 through 5 that show the fetch indicated by a black stick. A bit under prediction, Surfline was calling for 4ft 12s locally. The upstream buoys sense a bout of NNE windswell (8ft 9s at Hanalei) but it seems to be bigger up there. Based on the Pauwela readings, home guess for Hookipa is head to head and a half. 

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