A small NW swell is showing at the outer buoys. It comes from the fetch in the maps of March 3 to 5 below. It was a tiny fetch and Surfline only calls for 1.1ft 13s at sunset, so almost nothing. Home guess for Hookipa is around flat to waist high with occasional bigger sets and slightly bigger in the afternoon. Bigger on eastern exposures.

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