Small 12s southerly energy at Lanai with the addition of the Kona low generated windswell which, I heard, made for some short period waves in the Maalaea area yesterday. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Moderate NW swell peaked yesterday and now is only 2.2ft 14s at Pauwela together with leftover short period NE energy. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to head high with occasional bigger sets and clean with no wind.
