New long period NW started showing at the outer buoys while the existing one is winding down. Below are the maps of March 7 and 8 that show the fetch that generated it. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and a third, possibly bigger at sunset.

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