Small southerly energy at the buoys. It probably comes from the fetch below that happened on April 8 and 9.

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

NW energy pretty much disappeared at the buoys while the easterly windswell is on the decline too. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist to chest high.
