ENE windswell is pumping at Pauwela. Below are the maps of July 23 to 27 that show the fetch that generated it. Home guess for Hookipa is around chest to shoulder high with bigger sets in the afternoon when the wind is strongest. Bigger on eastern exposures.

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