A new solid long period WNW swell is rising at the buoys on top of the 13s one that is already in the water. Below are the maps of Feb 8 through 11 showing the fetch that generated it. Home guess for Hookipa is around double overhead and building.

Hookipa yesterday morning.

I'm the buyer of the F-One foils at Hi-Tech and am quite proud of the F-One rack at the moment: we have SK8 V2, Eagle, EagleX and Momentum all neatly stacked up in order of A/R. No other brand has such a clear division between models, IMO. And that's only one of the many factors that make F-One my favorite foil brand. Come to Hi-Tech on Mondays 2pm to 6pm if you want to talk F-One foils with me.

No southerly energy at the buoys, but the WNW energy they report could send inconsistent sets to the Kihei coast. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

The NW buoys bumped up again, so it's likely we'll see an increase locally towards the end of the day. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and a half and clean with no wind in the early morning, possibly building to double overhead at sunset.

Today the distinction between WNW and NW swells I discussed yesterday is more clear at the buoys. WNW is not a good direction for Maui's north shore. Home guess for Hookipa is around head high to slightly overhead with occasional inconsistent bigger sets.
