New long period XL NW swell is rising at the buoys. The maps of Mar 20 through 23 below show the fetch that generated it. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and half with occasional bigger sets (and no wind) in the morning, rising to double to triple overhead by sunset (5ft 18s predicted by Surfline at 7pm).

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