New long period NW swell is on the rise while the easterly windswell keeps pretty steady. Below are the maps of April 5 through 7 that show the fetch that generated the first. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half, possibly building to double overhead if the NW swell comes up as Surfline predicts (3ft 17s).

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