New long period distantly generated swell is predicted to pick late in the day, but there's no confirmation of it yet at the buoys. Below are the maps of March 28 through 30 that show the fetch that generated it.

Below is the Surfline forecast that shows the start of the rise very late in the day and the peak tomorrow.

With the previous NNW swell down to 2.6ft 12s and with the addition of 4.9ft @ 8s from 67 of windswell at Pauwela, home guess for Hookipa is around chest to head high. The eastern exposures will have waves too.

Forecast of Pauwela from this PACIOOS page.
