Second back to back large long period NW swell of a long series is rising at the buoys. It comes from the fetch in the maps of Oct 1 and 2 below. Home guess for Hookipa is head and a half to double in the morning, building to double overhead plus in the afternoon.

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