Plenty southerly energy at the buoys including a new long period one that comes from the fetch that happened on March 14 below. The local wind flow is still onshore though.

A bit of long period NW energy is going to add to the existing 11s N energy. It comes from the fetch in the maps of March 18 and 19 below. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and a half with occasional bigger sets.
