Yet another day of strong easterly trades. Here's a brief statement from Pat Caldwell that summerizes what's going on:
La Nina has taken the weather wheel and is expected to hold on tight and not let go into early March. This spells lower than usual surf from WNW to N and higher than average breakers from trade wind swell.

Home guess for Hookipa is head high and windy. Eastern exposures will be bigger but likely onshore.

Wind map at noon. While waiting for the usual wind maps to come back online, these are two alternatives: PACIOOS page and Surfline.
other ones can be found at link n.-2 of GP's meteo websites list in the right column (click on animation of the 10 meter column).
