Small short period NNW-N energy is rising at the buoys and should arrive locally in the afternoon and peak tomorrow. The maps of August 27 through 31 below show the fetch that generated it, indicated by a black arrow. The red arrow instead indicates a different fetch that generated another small but longer period NW swell that Surfline predicts to reach 2ft 15s on Tuesday. Home guess for Hookipa is flat in the morning and waist high by the end of the day.

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