New NW swell is at the buoys with yet another one right on its heels. They come from the fetches shown in the maps of Jan 26 through 29 below. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half with occasional bigger sets, building to double overhead plus at sunset (7.7ft 13s predicted by Surfline at 6pm). Wind should be calm to light offshore in the morning before suddenly turning onshore in the afternoon due to the arrival of the weak front you see in the satellite picture below.

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