NE energy down to 5ft 9s locally while a new moderate NW swell is rising at the buoys. It comes from the fetch that happened on Jan 3 and 4 below. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to head high in the morning with progressively bigger sets specially towards the end of the day.

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