And he also took this one in his neighborhood. That's what the common mortals had to deal with on the north shore.
Unless they chose to surf inside the harbor, which looks pristine too in this photo by Tom Jewell.

Below are the graphs of NW and Pauwela. The XL swell has peaked yesterday mid day and today will continue to slowly decline. With 6ft 14s to start with, there will still be plenty waves to play with, with a much more manageable size. Hookipa should still be double over head at least. No wind until around 11am when a light onshore breeze is predicted to pick up.

Yesterday's very long fetch (weekend swell) is much less impressive today. Surfline has the swell peaking Sunday morning at almost 14ft 16s from 315, but if it trend of late prediction is going to continue, that might happen Saturday evening instead. We'll know more tomorrow, of course.
The cyclone Tino continues to offer a fetch.Caldwell calls for a small swell Dec 26-30.
