Elevated windswell from N to NE is at the buoys. It comes from the eastern flank of the high pressure that settled north of us and is generating the strong trades. The maps of April 9 through 10 below show the fetch. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half and stormy.

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