South swell shows impressive 18s readings at the buoys, but the consistency is low due to the angular spreading nature of the swell. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Very small NW energy at Pauwela, while the outer buoys show more. Easterly windswell in decline too due to relaxing trades. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to head high.
