New NW swell on the rise all morning. Below are the maps of Mar 12 and 13 that show the fetch that generated it. The relatively close distance should make for steep rise and decent consistency.


Below are the graphs of NW101 and Pauwela together with the Surfline forecast that calls for 6.5ft 14s from 324 at noon. All the existing other energies at Pauwela would make for a fairly small day at Hookipa (like waist to chest high) and that's how it might look at times at first light, but then the long period sets should start getting bigger and more consistent. So from head high to double overhead throughout the morning is my home guess.
