New large NW energy is rising at the buoys. There seems to be two swells arriving simultaneously and that is also what the fetches maps of Nov 9 through 12 show below: two different fetches generating waves at the same time. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half to double in the morning rising to triple overhead at sunset (7.4ft 15s predicted by Surfline).

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