NW swell is on the slow decline but should still provide plenty energy to our north shore, also because, following the path of the fetch that I posted a couple of days ago, it's now coming from a little less westerly direction. Home guess for Hookipa is for head and a half to double and relatively clean thanks to the lack of wind.

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