F-One announced a new mast to fuse connection. They moved from my favorite connection to my least favorite one, so you can imagine how unhappy I am. Unfortunately this first podcast didn't answer the questions I have, but it's interesting nonetheless.

The new moderate NW swell you see at the buoys comes from the remote fetch in the maps of Feb 8 and 9 below. It should slowly build all day, but the dominant energy will remain the easterly windswell nonetheless. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half with occasional bigger sets and stormy.
