      , 11s, NW 320º

Waimea

            • 1.3ft

              , 4s, E 80º

1ft 11s of NW energy is not going to make much at all on our north shore, neither is a windswell from 105 degrees. Home guess for Hookipa is basically flat with occasional waist high breakers. Bigger on eastern exposures.

 Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
