New NW swell on the rise while the NNE energy continues. Below are the maps of Feb 4 through 6 showing the fetch that generated it with a black arrow (but also the fetches to our NE that generated the NNE energy). Home guess for Hookipa is around double overhead and no wind in the morning, getting bigger throughout the day, possibly reaching triple overhead by sunset. The Pipe contest will be on today and tomorrow.

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