7ft 9s from 30 degrees is the dominant energy in the water. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and a half with occasional bigger sets and windy.

I think the new NW energy at the buoys comes from the fetch in the maps of Feb 9 through 11 below. It should stick around for the weekend with Surfline calling for a small reinforcement tomorrow. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and a half with occasional bigger sets.

The NW swell I discussed yesterday is pretty small at the buoys, so today it's going to be more about the easterly windswell again, which is now coming from 80 degrees, so not so good for the north shore. Home guess for Hookipa is around head high with occasional bigger sets.

F-One announced a new mast to fuse connection. They moved from my favorite connection to my least favorite one, so you can imagine how unhappy I am. Unfortunately this first podcast didn't answer the questions I have, but it's interesting nonetheless.

The new moderate NW swell you see at the buoys comes from the remote fetch in the maps of Feb 8 and 9 below. It should slowly build all day, but the dominant energy will remain the easterly windswell nonetheless. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half with occasional bigger sets and stormy.
