Mokapu shows the usual easterly windswell while one of the NW buoys shows signs of what could be the start of a small NW swell that will fill in locally tomorrow for a couple of days (Surfline calls for 2.5ft 12s tomorrow evening). Below are the maps of August 24 though 26 that show the small fetch that generated it. Home guess for Hookipa today is knee to waist high.

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