NW energy showing a second bigger pulse at the NW buoys. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to head high in the morning, building to well overhead at sunset (4,5ft 13s predicted by Surfline).

      • 0.9ft
        , 12s, SSW 205º

The only fetch I could find as a source of the 15s energy at the buoys is the angular spreading one that happened on May 23rd (map below). The numbers are good, but the consistency will probably be poor.

Small southerly energy at the buoys. The 22s reading at Barbers indicates the start of a small long period swell coming from the fetch shown in the maps below of May 20 through 22. 2ft 16s predicted by Surfline for tomorrow.
