New small/medium NW swell is rising at the buoys. Below are the maps of Sept 27 through 29 that show a couple of fetches that possibly generated it. To be honest, I'm not sure which one of the two did it, as the directions at the buoys go from 310 to 335. Maybe it's a combo of the two. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to head high in the morning with gradually building bigger sets throughout the day. Surfline calls for 3ft 12s at sunset.

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