New large long period NW swell will be rising locally all day. The jet stream has been hugging the Aleutians in the last 4-5 days with many west to east fast moving lows, each of which aimed a large swell towards the west coast of the US. We're getting mostly the angular spreading of those. Below are the fetches that happened Oct 19 through 22. Today's is the first of a couple of pulses that Surfline predicts to reach 5.5ft 16s mid day. Home guess for Hookipa is head and a half to double in the morning, building to double plus throughout the day.

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