Mostly easterly windswell at Pauwela, with the addition of one foot 13s of NW energy. Below are the maps of August 25 and 26 that show the fetch that generated it. Surfline calls for it to build to 2ft 12s throughout the day. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist high with occasionally bigger sets up to possibly head high.

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