New NW pulse is up at the NW buoy and starting to fill in locally. I couldn't find any significant fetch on the maps I make and save every day, it probably happened between samples. Home guess for Hookipa is waist to belly high to start the day, rising to chest to head high by sunset.

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