New medium period NNE closely generated swell is at the buoys. Below are the maps of  October 22 through 24 that show the fetch that generated it (and still is generating it today).

Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half to double, extremely consistent and with occasional bigger sets.
Bit stormy in open ocean, plenty cleaner waves inside the Kahului harbor.
