The mix of NW to N energies continues at the buoys, coming from a mix of distant and close by sources (which you can see on the map of Dec 15 below). Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half to double and clean in the morning (the Kona flow continues) with an increase in size in the afternoon (Surfline calls for 7ft 13s from 335 at sunset).

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