Yesterday's NW pulse was well below the predictions, but today there's a new one rising at the outer buoys and it looks better. Home guess for Hookipa is around head high and windy in the morning with an up trend and possible overhead sets in the late afternoon.

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