Short period northerly energy peaked last night but it still pretty solid at the buoys. Mokapu and Pauwela also show small 13s easterly readings from that former hurricane to our east. Home guess for Hookipa is around shoulder high to occasionally overhead.

New short period northerly energy is rising at the buoys. It comes from the fetch in the maps of Sept 25 through 28 below and Surfline calls for it to build to 4.6ft 10s by sunset. Home guess for Hookipa is chest to shoulder high in the morning, building to up to head and a half by sunset.

The small 13s NW energy at the buoys today will be the most noticeable energy in the water as the short period northerly one went down to 2ft 8s. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist to shoulder high with occasional bigger sets.

Wind map at noon. They changed the time stamp to HST, so now it's a lot easier to read (red circle). The other ones can be found here.
