New small northerly energy is at the buoys. Below are the maps of October 26 and 27 that show the fetch that generated it. Home guess for Hookipa is waist to chest high in the early morning, with a possible increase of the northerly energy throughout the day (based on the reading at the N buoy).

Barbers
- 1.6ft, 15s, S 190º
The numbers at the buoys are ok, but this swell has looked smaller on the webcam than the buoys from the beginning. The sets are actually not bad, but it's very slow due to the angular spreading nature of it. Check the Lahaina webcam if interested,
for size, conditions and consistency.

- 2.5ft, 5s, E 80º

New small long period SSW energy is on the rise at the buoys. Below are the maps of October 20 through 22 that show the fetch that generated it. It should reach 2ft 15s tomorrow.

Small northerly energy is still at the buoys together with elevated ENE windswell. Both should be on the decline, but the home guess for Hookipa is still for at least head high waves.
