13s NNE energy is at the buoys together with the easterly windswell. Below are the maps of February 22 through 24 that show the angular spreading fetch that generated it.

I imagine there will be still some NW energy in the water (but no working local buoys to record it), so today will offer a mix of three different swells. Home guess for Hookipa is for head to head and a half mixed up waves.

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