The Aloha Classic started at Hookipa yesterday. Possible finish of the Pro's today in very marginal wind conditions, as the forecast for the rest of the week looks pretty dismal. Streaming on the IWT Youtube channel. Photo by Jimmie Hepp from this album.

Relatively short period NW-N energy is at the buoys. It comes from the relative weak but close and almost stationary fetch indicated in the maps of October 24 though 27 below Home guess for Hookipa is chest to head high and no wind in the morning.
