No southerly energy at Barbers, but looks like there's kona's windswell. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

WNW swell continues pretty solid at NW and Waimea, while Pauwela shows smaller numbers, which should increase throughout the day though. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half  in the morning with leftover kona wind. The second half of the day should see bigger sizes and light wind switching to onshore. It's been three weeks of almost continuous kona wind, but that is going to end today.
