Moderate NW energy continues at the buoys, while the outer buoys show a new larger swell on the rise which will peak locally tomorrow. Below are the maps of Dec 27 though 31 showing the fetch that generated it. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and half with possible bigger sets at sunset (3ft 15s predicted by Surfline).

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