New XL long period NW swell is rising at the buoys. Below are the maps of Jan 1 through 4 showing the fetch that generated it. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to shoulder high and clean in the morning, gradually rising all day to double to triple overhead at sunset (5ft 19s predicted by Surfline).

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