Decent amount of NW energy at the buoys from a fetch that I struggle to identify (I only see fetches from the north on the maps of the past days). Home guess for Hookipa is around head to occasionally head and half with a building trend (Surfline calls for 6ft 12s at sunset).

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