There have been NE fetches since almost a week or so and we started receiving the related energy yesterday afternoon (see Hookipa picture at the top). Fausto's swell should also start arriving this afternoon but mostly from a 90 degrees direction. The swell will keep building and slightly turn north following the track of the storm, and Surfline predicts a whooping 10ft 13s from 72 degrees on Tuesday. Home guess for Hookipa today is around chest to head high with occasional bigger sets.
