Today started as one of those days in which there's a strong kona forecast, but rain and clouds might make instead for that perfect amount of offshore for surfing. Buoys show plenty NW energy both from distant and close fetches. Home guess for Hookipa is double overhead plus, seek for sheltered places like the harbor.
