New medium NW swell is rising at the buoys. It comes from the fetch in the maps of May 10 through 12 below. Surfline calls for 3ft 15s at sunset. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to head high gradually building throughout the day to well overhead at sunset. Windy with easterly windswell in the mix.

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