The moderate NW swell I discussed yesterday (red arrow fetch) peaked overnight and today it's going to be slowly declining while the next one (black arrow fetch in yesterday's collage) is already at the NW buoys. It could start showing locally towards the end of the day, but the westerly direction will make it not ideal for our north shore specially towards Kahului. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to occasionally head and a half. The wind should be light in the morning, but at one point turn onshore (it's already like that on Oahu and Molokai). The wind maps below have not been updated for two days, so I wouldn't rely on them.
7:47am update: the wind just started blowing NW at Kanaha. So, expect onshore conditions.

 Wind map at noon (two days old prediction). The other ones can be found here.
