Transition day: the old NW energy is down to minimal levels while a new long period one that Surfline predicts to reach 6ft 14s by sunset is rising. It comes from the fetch that happened Dec 11 through 14 below (red arrow). The black arrow instead indicates a north fetch that generated a similar size N swell that instead will arrive Monday (bodyboard contest has been called on at the harbor Jetty). Home guess for Hookipa is around waist to shoulder high and extremely clean in the morning rising all the way to double overhead plus at sunset.
