New small long period southerly energy at the buoys. It probably comes from the Tasman Sea fetch that happened on March 29 below (expect low consistency). The fetch then moved to the SE of New Zealand with a better aim and generated a much bigger swell that will arrive Tuesday.

Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
