No photos from yesterday. Facebook memories brought back this photo from January 26 2014, a day in which Lanes looked very good.

The IWT and PWA windsurfing tours have united and this is their 2023 wave tour calendar.

The main NW energy continues at the buoys now around 8-9ft 11-13s, but there's also the other periods you see in the buoys readings. Together with the NE wind flow, that'll give the waves a character of storminess. Home guess for Hookipa is head and half to double and not particularly clean.
