The Aloha Classic at Hookipa yesterday, photo by FishBowlDiaries. They decided to delay the finals of the Pros to today, which means we get another day of streaming here.

The decision to delay the Aloha Classic Pros to today was based on the Surfline forecast calling for another long period pulse of NW energy (generated by the fetch that happened on Oct 14 and 15 below), with a juicy prediction of 5ft 17s at 2pm.
Although some of the buoys do show some small long period readings, it doesn't look like it will get that big locally. Fortunately there's still some NW medium period energy and almost 5ft 8s of NE windswell in the water, so there will be some waves no matter what. Home guess for Hookipa is around head high plus in the morning, hopefully building to well overhead later in the day.
