New small long period NW swell is rising at the buoys. The maps of April 22 through 25 below show the fetch that generated it. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist high of easterly windswell in the morning rising to head high by sunset (2ft 16s predicted by surfline).

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