A pattern of complex NW fetches have kept the buoys' readings up for the whole last week. Today it's a bit of a transition day, as the old energy has almost dissipated, but right on its heels there's a new solid swell (11ft 14s at the NW buoy) that will rise locally all day. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist to chest high in the morning and building to double overhead plus by sunset (Surfline calls for 7ft 16s).
