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.

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