Very small NW energy is rising at the buoys. It comes from the small and fast moving fetch that happened on Sept 6 through 9 below. Home guess for Hookipa is knee to waist high from the easterly windswell in the morning with possible slightly bigger NW sets by the end of the day.

 Wind map at noon (two days old prediction). The other ones can be found here.
