Around 4ft 10s of northerly energy is at the buoys, together with a tiny amount of longer period NW energy. Below are the maps of October 17 through 19 that show the fetches that generated them (black arrow for the N, red arrow for the NW). Home guess for Hookipa is around waist to shoulder high with occasional bigger sets.
