New small NW swell picked up at the upstream buoys and should pick also locally throughout the day. Below are the maps of November 8 and 9 that show a small closer fetch (black stick) and a further away one (red stick). My guess is today's pulse is from the closer one and tomorrow we'll get a reinforcement from the more distant one. Easterly windswell is still pumping. Home guess for Hookipa is chest to head high, possibly bigger in the afternoon.

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