Small long period southerly energy at the buoys and finally an occasional wave breaking on the cam after a week or so. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

The short period northerly energy at the NW buoy should come from the fetch that happened north of us on Oct 27th below. That should eventually get here only in the late afternoon. Meanwhile, we're dealing again with small leftover NW energy. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest high with occasional bigger sets.

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