Pauwela is down and I'm going to post Hilo's easterly windswell reading to have an idea of how big it is. Old NW energy is almost gone at the upstream buoys, but there's already a new moderate long period pulse. The maps below of Jan 10 and 11 show the fetch that generated it. Home guess for Hookipa is around head high with occasional bigger sets in the morning with a building trend and should be well overhead at sunset.

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