Traces of a new small NW swell are at the buoys, but the NE windswell will still be the main provider of waves on the north shore. The maps of May 7 through 9 below show the distant and small fetch that generated the NW energy. Not much to be expected (Surfline calls for 1.2ft 14s at sunset). Home guess for Hookipa is around waist to head high.

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