New small 17s southerly energy at the buoys. Below is the map of April 18 that show the fetch that generated it.

The buoys show the start of a new small WNW swell. Below are the maps of April 19 through 21 that show the fetch that generated it. I wouldn't expect much from it on our north shore and the ENE windswell will be the dominant energy in the water. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to occasionally head and a half. Similar or bigger on eastern exposures.

Northerly energy at Pauwela down to 3ft 11s is going to keep declining while a more closely generated shorter period NE windswell registers 5.7ft 8s. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and a half.

The 13s NW-NNW energy at the local buoys is bigger than the N energy at the other buoys (I discussed both yesterday). Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half to double, bigger mid day with the help of the windswell.

The outer buoys show mostly northerly energy while the local ones show also a small NW swell. Below are the maps of April 16 though 19 that show the fetches that generated both swells (black stick for the N, red stick for the NW). Home guess for Hookipa is around head high or more from the NW swell in the morning and building to head and a half or more throughout the day due the arrival of the north swell.
