New NW swell on the rise all day. Below are the maps of March 26 through 28. I put a black arrow on the NW fetch and a yellow arrow on the fetch that generated the short period NE energy we had in the water yesterday and and is still lingering today.

Below are the graphs of NW001 and Pauwela, together with the Surfline forecast. Notice how this one was predicting 3ft 15s at 6am, which is exactly what Pauwela reads at that time. It should reach 5ft 13s by sunset.

Home guess for Hookipa is head to head and a third to start the day with and getting progressively bigger throughout the day. Light wind till around 9am.

Forecast of Pauwela from this PACIOOS page.

Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here. (one day old prediction)
