Below is Surfline's Pauwela's graph. The NNW swell peaked during the night, but the readings of the upstream buoys show that there will be pretty steady energy all day also today. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half and clean. Eastern exposures have seen continuous action too, today it should be a bit smaller than the previous couple of days. Third day in a row of great wind conditions, enjoy them as the trades are about to come back.
