The mix of short and medium period NNW to NNE energies continues at the buoys. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half and relatively clean thanks to the lack of wind. Enjoy it today, as tomorrow a low forming very close and to our NW will bring strong Kona and plenty rain.
Not impossible that they'll run day 1 of the Pipe contest. Streaming here.

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