New long period NW swell picked up at the NW buoys and is moving down the island chain. Below are the maps of November 28 through 30 that show the fetch that generated it. It should start showing locally only in the afternoon and mostly up the coast towards Hookipa. Home guess for Hookipa is waist to belly high in the morning, rising to possibly head high in the late afternoon with maybe some overhead sets at sunset.

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