A new small NW swell is at the NW buoy. Below are the maps of March 23 through 25 that show the fetch that generated it.


Below is the Surfline forecast showing this swell only rising to 1.6ft 16s at sunset and reaching 2.6ft 13s tomorrow morning.

Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to head high and clean with no wind for the first half of the morning and a slight increasing trend throughout the day.
