The south swell of which I posted the fetch yesterday shows 18s readings at the buoys, but the consistency remains very low. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

New medium size NW swell is rising at the buoys. It was generated by the fetch shown in the maps of April 28 through 30 below. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist to head high in the morning building to possibly overhead at sunset.

 Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
