The easterly windswell continues to be the dominant swell in the water. Today at least there's a bit of something else and the maps of March 28 through 31 show the sources: a small N-NNE swell already at the local buoys (red stick) and a small NW swell at the NW buoy (black stick) that will slowly rise throughout the day and last for a few days. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest high, possibly a bit bigger towards the end of the day. Easterly exposures should be bigger.
Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
