The NW swell I discussed yesterday is pretty small at the buoys, so today it's going to be more about the easterly windswell again, which is now coming from 80 degrees, so not so good for the north shore. Home guess for Hookipa is around head high with occasional bigger sets.

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