No photos from yesterday, this is Mr. Bennetts on the Gironde river in France, the trippiest foiling environment I've ever seen. Like a skate park with the walls that change shape while you ride them.

Lanai shows some westerly energy, which is probably what you see on the cam. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Moderate size NW energy is at the local buoys, predicted to increase in the afternoon. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to occasionally head and a half. No wind in the morning, so it could be pretty clean, although with still a possible stormy look after yesterday's onshore wind.
