Old XL Marcio swell is now down to small levels, while a new WNW long period one is on the rise. Below are the maps of January 11 through 13 showing the fetch that generated it.

Below is the Surfline forecast showing the new swell rising locally all day and reaching 7.3ft 17s at sunset.

Home guess for Hookipa is head and half to double in the morning and building to unsurfable again towards the end of the day.
