That 6ft 13s reading yesterday morning was probably a glitch as the NW swell never got bigger than 3ft 13s locally. Today it's only 2.3ft 13s, so once again the dominant energy in the water will be a mix of N to NNE 8 to 11s period. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half and still stormy with another strong day of trades between frequent squalls.
