Northerly energy finally coming down at the buoys after a week or so of elevated readings. It's going to keep declining also tomorrow, but don't fret: you can see on today's fetch map below that there's already another pulse being generated which should arrive Friday afternoon. Home guess for Hookipa this morning is head to head and a third and clean.

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