Lowell moved NW of Hawaii and now it's generating the short period NW energy you see at the outer buoys. Surfline only predicts 2.5ft 10s, but it might be more than that in the afternoon. Meanwhile, the easterly energy from Karina and whatever fetch was behind it is still in the water. Home guess for Hookipa is waist to shoulder high with occasional bigger sets.

Today is the day in which the effect of Lowell will be the biggest. The waves on south and west facing shores will be massive and very dangerous. The onshore wind will make them even stormier than they already are. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Longer period energy from Lowell is starting to fill in. Surfline predicts it to steadily build throughout the day and peak at 9ft 14s during the night. Cam already shows good size sets, exercise caution as it's going to get bigger and very consistent. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.
