The Kona low NW of the island generated a short period swell that will be rising all day locally (Surfline calls for 4.6ft 11s at sunset). Home guess for Hookipa is around waist high in the early morning, building to head high plus throughout the day.

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