              , 4s, E 80º
After many days of strong easterly trades, the wind is going to ease up a bit for the rest of the week. As a consequence, the windswell will become gradually smaller. If the direction at Mokapu is correct, Hookipa should be quite flat today.

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

Yesterday's Molokai to Oahu race streaming was a ground breaking first. If you haven't watched it yet, I recommend you do something like this. You can replay both the streaming and the dots and synchronize the starts. That way you'll have a clear idea of what's happening in the race, while the commentators were a bit clueless about the standings.

Below is the streaming, these are the dots. Final results here. If you don't want to watch the whole thing, I recommend to watch the last 20 minutes of the race starting at minute 1:47.
