Small 14s southerly energy at the buoys. Both buoys show a very small 20s reading, announcing the building of a new long period swell that will slowly increase today and peak tomorrow (Surfline calls for 1ft 19 tonight and 2ft 18s tomorrow). The maps of May 13 and 14 below show the fetch that generated it.

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