Between the energies of shorter periods and many directions at the buoys, today there's a 13s northerly one that stands out. Below are the maps of Jan 29 and 30 showing the fetch that generated it. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half to double and stormy with an onshore flow.

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