The upstream buoys show an increase in the size of the NW swell that should start happening mid morning locally. Home guess for Hookipa is head and half to occasionally double to start the day with, building to double plus throughout the day.

Below is the already posted collage of the maps of Nov 18 through 22 that show the many different fetches that happened in those days and of which we're now receiving the energy.
