New small NW swell from the fetch I posted yesterday will be on the rise all day. Below are the graphs of NW101 and Pauwela together with the Surfline forecast. This last one seems to be either early or too optimistic, as Pauwela only shows 1.7ft 14s versus a prediction of 3.8ft 14s at 4am. Home guess for Hookipa is for around head high with size predicted to increase in the afternoon (4.4ft 13s at Hanalei suggest so). Windy and choppy.
