The very small NW energy at the buoys now shows directions between 285 to 320 and that makes it hard to identify the source and to predict the size locally. Probably too small to be noticeable anyway.
Easterly windswell is still up. Home guess for Hookipa is around waist high with occasional bigger sets.

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