Lanai shows small long period southerly energy, likely the start of a small out of season swell. The maps below of Jan 9 through 13 show the fetch that generated it. Not much on the cam yet, it should very slowly increase through the day and tomorrow.

Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
