There is availability in F and Y almost every day in the coming weeks so you can be spontaneous.
In terms of value for points, LAX-HNL is quite bad as it is just over 2400 miles. SFO-HNL on the other hand might be a really great deal as it is 2399 miles according to Great Circle Mapper. If QF sees it the same way this would be good usage of QFF points.
