New long period NW swell is rising at the buoys while the ENE to NE windswell continues to be elevated. Below are the maps of March 8 and 9 that show the fetch that generated the former. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and half in the morning building to double overhead at sunset (4.4ft 16s predicted by Surfline at 6pm).

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