NW swell peaked during the night and should slowly decrease throughout the day. I doubt the decline will be much noticeable, as the waves will be big nonetheless. Home guess for Hookipa is double overhead with bigger sets and no wind.
The Vans contest at Pipe will run also today.

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