Southerly energy is still at Barbers. Check the Kihei webcam if interested,
for size, conditions and consistency.

Two new swells arriving today. Below are the maps of February 26 though March 1st that show the fetches that generated them. The black stick shows the N one which is about 6ft 13 at the N buoys. Plenty angular spreading involved in this one, so it's always hard to predict what we really get locally, in fact Pauwela shows 2.7ft 13s while the Surfline prediction was around 5ft 15s.
The second fetch is indicated by the red stick and the 3.3ft 16s from 275 reading at the NW buoy is this swell. West enough to be felt on the Kihei side, I'd say. As you can see from the maps, this fetch moved in a more favorable position and got pretty strong on Feb 29, so expect this west swell to turn more WNW and then NW in the next couple of days.
Home guess for Hookipa is around head to occasionally head and a half, possibly bigger in the afternoon.
Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
