The NW buoy went up a bit and it's showing 4.5ft 11s from 325. Below are the maps of April 27 through 29 that show the fetch that generated it. It was large but not intense, hence the short period which loses energy quick while travelling. So don't expect nothing particularly big locally. Looks still tiny on the Sunset Beach cam. Home guess for Hookipa is waist to chest rising to possibly chest to shoulder by sunset. Trades are back.

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