Mostly declining easterly windswell again at Pauwela. That half foot 18s from NW comes from the marginal fetch indicated in the maps below of April 10 and 11 and should build to 1.5ft 17s by sunset (according to Surfline), which isn't much but at least could show some very inconsistent sets in the head high range.

The other energy worth noticing is the short period NW at Waimea and NW buoys. You guys must have noticed that there's a low spinning to our NW (that's why there's no trades) and that's where this energy comes from. Despite all that, home guess for Hookipa remains around waist to chest high maximum and as clean as it gets in the morning as far as wind conditions with very light Kona flow.

 Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
