New small 17s southerly energy at the buoys. Below is the map of April 18 that show the fetch that generated it.

The buoys show the start of a new small WNW swell. Below are the maps of April 19 through 21 that show the fetch that generated it. I wouldn't expect much from it on our north shore and the ENE windswell will be the dominant energy in the water. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to occasionally head and a half. Similar or bigger on eastern exposures.

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