A new small NW swell is at the buoys. Below are the maps of April 22 through 25 that show the fetch that generated it. The north shore will have a mix of that and the easterly windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to head high with possible bigger sets in the afternoon.

No photos from yesterday. This is the start of my downinder last Tuesday. After that, I decided to take a break to hopefully heal a painful episode of sciatica. Photo by Sofie Louca.

As anticipated, the small NW swell in the water is having very little effect locally. The easterly windswell went up to a dreamy (from the downwinders point of view) 8ft 8s, but it's now coming from 80 degrees and as such won't completely hit our north shore. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist to head high and stormy. Bigger on eastern exposures.
