Moderate period NW swell went down at the NW buoy, but still up at the closer ones. Plenty more waves on tap today with a slow downward trend towards the end of the day. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half and clean with no wind in the early morning.

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