Hanalei and Waimea register half foot 13s of NW energy coming from a one day weak fetch on the 16th in the map below. Pauwela only has easterly windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is flat to waist high and with possible occasional bigger NW sets in the afternoon.

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