New long period NW swell is rising at the buoys. The maps of Feb 13 thorugh 16 below show the fetch that generated it. Home guess for Hookipa in the early morning is around chest to head high from the leftover 3ft 11s of the previous swell with occasional head high long period sets of the new one which will become bigger and more consistent as the day progresses (Surfline is calling for 4.5ft 18s at sunset).
