Very small long period southerly energy at the buoys. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

Waimea

          • 5.1ft
            , 7s, NE 40º
          • 1.5ft
            , 11s, NNW 330º

Pauwela

            , 8s, NE 50º
          • 3ft

Northerly energy at Pauwela down to 3ft 11s is going to keep declining while a more closely generated shorter period NE windswell registers 5.7ft 8s. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and a half.
