The NW swell we talked about yesterday peaked at the NW buoy at an impressive 10ft 16 mid day yesterday. The sets from this swell will be pretty solid (double overhead range) in the early morning locally. The shorter period NE to ENE swell continues to be pumping at all the buoys. The mix of the two will make for big and challenging waves at Hookipa.
