The NNW (now N) swell picked up nicely, but the NE wind made for poor conditions yesterday. Today the wind should be similar, but it seems there's no wind in the early morning. Hookipa will be head and a half at least. Waves everywhere also down the coast.

Wind map at noon (the other ones can be found at link n.-2 of GP's meteo websites list in the right column).
