New XL NW swell is rising at the buoys. Below are the maps of Dec 22 through 25 showing the fetch that generated it. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half and clean in the morning, building to triple overhead plus at the end of the day (Surfline calls for 11ft 19s).

NW energy continues at the buoys, now down to more manageable levels. Nonetheless, home guess for Hookipa is still around double to triple overhead. Tough times for the windsurfers these days. The Eddie swell removed a ton a sand from the launch and now it's all rocky and getting in and out of the water is virtually impossible (or extremely hard at least).
