Very small southerly energy at the buoys and almost nothing on the cam with an occasional little set like the one below. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

North shore

NW001

            • 3.3ft
              , 8s, N 355º

Pauwela

            • 3.6ft

The NW buoys show small short period N energy that probably comes from the fetch below that happened on Sept 14 and 15. We're only going to receive it tomorrow (Surfline calls for 2.6ft 8s). Today there's only easterly windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is flat to knee high.

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