The 1.6ft 20s at Barbers comes from the fetch SE of New Zealand in the map of Sept 9  below. A stronger fetch formed a couple of days later and the related swell is predicted to start arriving tomorrow and peak during the weekend.

The webcam looks completely flat until a very inconsistent set arrives. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
