New NW swell is rising at the buoys while the easterly windswell keeps building. The maps below of Mar 3 to 6 below show the fetch that generated the NW swell. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half to double and windy with sets getting bigger throughout the day (Surfline calls for 4.6ft 15s at sunset).

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