I think the new NW energy at the buoys comes from the fetch in the maps of Feb 9 through 11 below. It should stick around for the weekend with Surfline calling for a small reinforcement tomorrow. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and a half with occasional bigger sets.

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