Long period NW swell peaked last night and will slowly decline throughout the day. Home guess for Hookipa in the morning is double overhead. Very little agreement between wind models for today's wind, some call for very strong and some for very light. The one below clearly veers towards the strong side, although frmo an ESE direction.

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