This amazing run of winter surf continues as a new XL swell rose at the NW buoys and will be on the rise all day locally. Below are the maps of January 21 through 24 that show the fetch that generated it with a black arrow (red arrow was the Eddie fetch).

Below is the Surfline forecast showing a peak this afternoon at 10.6ft 17s from 315.

Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half high and clean, building to double and then triple overhead throughout the day.

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