1ft 11s of NW energy is not going to make much at all on our north shore, neither is a windswell from 105 degrees. Home guess for Hookipa is basically flat with occasional waist high breakers. Bigger on eastern exposures.

A new small NW swell is at the buoys. Below are the maps of April 22 through 25 that show the fetch that generated it. The north shore will have a mix of that and the easterly windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to head high with possible bigger sets in the afternoon.
