The NW swell I discussed yesterday picked up the NW buoys and at Hanalei, but locally it still shows only 1ft 14. It will probably increase in the afternoon. Meanwhile, there's still 3.4ft 11s from th NNE. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to shoulder high with occasional bigger sets. It should increase to at least head high or more in the afternoon.
