New small NW energy is at the buoys and I'm a bit puzzled about the source. Below are the maps of October 31 through November 4. I put a black arrow on what I think the most likely source is, but in that case the direction should be more around 300. The only other possible alternative is that narrow fetch up in the corner that happened on the 1st (blue arrow), which instead would have a direction around 330.
Whatever the source was, it is a small swell that should add some organized sets here and there in the midst of the easterly windswell which has grown to 6.6ft 8s from 80 degrees locally.
Home guess for Hookipa is for around head high. Bigger on eastern exposures.

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