F-One announced a new mast to fuse connection. They moved from my favorite connection to my least favorite one, so you can imagine how unhappy I am. Unfortunately this first podcast didn't answer the questions I have, but it's interesting nonetheless.

The new moderate NW swell you see at the buoys comes from the remote fetch in the maps of Feb 8 and 9 below. It should slowly build all day, but the dominant energy will remain the easterly windswell nonetheless. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half with occasional bigger sets and stormy.

The NW energy is almost completely gone at the buoys, but 10ft 10s from 30 degrees will provide plenty waves to the north shore. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half to double and  stormy.

NW swell peaked yesterday and now shows around 5ft 13s at Pauwela. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half to double with a slow declining trend, but the day will be characterized by the strong wind and the frequent rain that will make the north shore very stormy. The Kihei coast will be slammed too, check out wind map at 2pm below with wind up to 50 knots. Be extremely careful if for some reason you plan of getting in the water down there or, even better, stay out of the water all together.
