NW swell peaked yesterday and today will slowly decline from that 2.8ft 15s reading at Pauwela. The NW buoy shows an impressive 3ft 21s of a new swell that will arrive tonight (1.8ft 21s at 6pm predicted by Surfline) and become pretty solid tomorrow (5ft 15s). Below are the maps of March 20 through 24 that show the fetch that generated it. Home guess for Hookipa today is around head and a half to double.
Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
