A small/moderate NW swell is rising at the buoys. It comes from the fetch that happened on March 21 through 23 in the maps below. Surfline calls for 2.3ft 15s at sunset. The dominant energy in the water remains the 10s NNE that this morning clocks in at more than 6ft. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and a half with occasional bigger sets and a bit stormy because of the side-on wind.
