Large NNW swell picked up according to forecast. Below are the maps of December 14 though 16 that show the relatively near fetch that generated it.

Below is the Surfline forecast showing a peak during tonight at 10.5ft 15s from 326.

Home guess for Hookipa is for double overhead, rising to triple throughout the day and then possibly unsurfable by the end of the day.
The Vans Pipe contest is on.

Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
