New long period NW swell is rising at the buoys and will continue to do so throughout the day. Below are the maps of February 12 through 14 that show the fetch that generated it.

The Surfline forecast shows the swell reaching almost 3ft 16s in the afternoon and getting a bigger reinforcement tomorrow (5.6ft 17s at 6am).

Hookipa in the morning will have almost exclusively the NE short period energy that you see at Mokapu with the occasional NW set mixing in. Home guess for the size is around head and a half. The onshore winds that blew all day yesterday will have probably left some morning sickness, so don't expect particularly clean conditions, despite the light wind.
