9ft 17s from 20 degrees is a uncommon reading at Pauwela, as usually swells from that direction have shorter periods. Many are the spots which would benefit from such a swell, unfortunately the strong NE wind will blow out things everywhere, even inside a sheltered place like the harbor (see below, that's a lot of white water!). Home guess for Hookipa is too big, too stormy.
