New long period NW energy pulse is rising at the buoys. It comes from the fetch that happened in the maps of April 4 and 5 below. Surfline calls for 3.3ft 15s at sunset. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist to shoulder high and clean in the early morning, rising to overhead at the end of the day.

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