Hookipa yesterday.

        , 13s, SSW 200º
Good numbers at the buoys, not as good waves on the cam, but with occasional decent sets, like the one below. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

NW001

            • 1.1ft
              , 13s, NNW 340º

Waimea

            • 1ft
              , 13s, WNW 300º

Pauwela

            • 2.9ft
              , 10s, N 10º
            • 1.1ft
              , 13s, NNW 330º
            • 2.9ft
              , 4s, E 90º
Short period N energy still shows 3ft 10s at Pauwela, while a new small 13s NE energy is rising. It comes from the fetch that happened on Sept 22 and 23 below. Surfline only calls for 1.8ft 13s later today, so don't expect much from it. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to head high with occasional bigger sets and very clean in early the morning.

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