Hookipa can be good, but most times it's a pretty average surf spot. You realize that when you surf somewhere else for a while.
Fortunately I made up with it in the afternoon. "sneaky slog and surf sailing session after work" I called for and sneaky slog and surf sailing session after work it was. That was really fun.

Buoys are extremely confusing today.
Is the swell at Hookipa NNE or NW? I remember the fetch being NW, but Pauwela is reading NNE... anyway, whatever it is, there's waves.
Barbers is reading weird WNW wraps too, but there's waves on the south shore too even though probably in the waist/belly high range only.

Wind will be light in the morning and then light trades will pick up as the MC2km map at noon shows.
