Transition dat with moderate size waves before it gets big again. Mix of closely generated leftover N-NNE energy at 10s plus rising NW 13-15s energy coming from the fetch indicated in the maps below of January 12 and 13. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and a half high and no wind for the first half of the morning. The north Pacific is shaping up for lots of low latitude lows which will kill the trades for at least the next couple of weeks.

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