The NW swell I discussed yesterday is only showing 1.8ft 13s locally, while the short period NE energy clocks in at 5ft 9s, also a bit under prediction. Home guess for Hookipa is around head high to occasionally head and a half.

A small/moderate NW swell is rising at the buoys. It comes from the fetch that happened on March 21 through 23 in the maps below. Surfline calls for 2.3ft 15s at sunset. The dominant energy in the water remains the 10s NNE that this morning clocks in at more than 6ft. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and a half with occasional bigger sets and a bit stormy because of the side-on wind.
