New medium period closely generated NW energy is at the buoys. It comes from the fetch indicated in the maps of Feb 13 and 14 below. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half to double with a building trend. No wind in the early morning will make for smooth faces, but tons of energy and high consistency will make for not particularly easy conditions.

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