New NW swell is performing a little under the prediction at Pauwela (surfline calls for 3ft 15s instead of the recorded 2). Might just be a bit late, as the numbers at the outer buoys are better and the Sunset Beach cam shows inconsistent double overhead sets on the cam (see below). Home guess for Hookipa is around head to occasionally head and a half with possible bigger sets in the second half of the day.

New small/medium long period NW swell is rising at the outer buoys. It comes from the fetch that happened on May 23 through 26 in the maps below. Locally it should be noticeable only in the second half of day (Surfline calls for 1.5ft 18s at sunset), meanwhile the ENE windswell will still be the dominant energy. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to head high, bigger in the late afternoon.

Very small NW energy at the buoys, also today the dominant energy will be the NE windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to head high with occasional bigger sets. Bigger on eastern exposures.
