Small short period northerly energy at the buoys will make for a relatively small day before a new sizeable swell arrives tomorrow. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist to chest high with occasional bigger sets.

The short period northerly energy at the NW buoy should come from the fetch that happened north of us on Oct 27th below. That should eventually get here only in the late afternoon. Meanwhile, we're dealing again with small leftover NW energy. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest high with occasional bigger sets.
