The NW swell of the last couple of days went down to 11s locally, but immediately comes a replacement one that has potential to go XL tomorrow thanks to another reinforcement . Below are the maps of December 23 through 25 that show the fetch that generated it. Home guess for Hookipa is around double overhead with possible not so clean conditions later in the day due to a light onshore flow.

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