First small NW swell of a long series is at the buoys. Below are the fetch maps of Nov 18 through 22 that show the many fetches that will ensure a continuous provisioning of overlapping episodes (biggest on Thanksgiving) till well into the weekend. Home guess for Hookipa in the morning is around head high or more and relatively clean thanks to the lack of wind in the first hours of light.
