A front is brushing the island today and we'll first get the closely generated short period waves and then the longer period ones from the back of the fetch. A longer period moderate NW swell from a different fetch will slowly rise underneath all that and will be more noticeable tomorrow (I'll discuss the fetch then). Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half to double and stormy.
