New medium period NNW energy is at the buoys. It comes from the fetch in the maps of Oct 13 through 15 below. Mokapu also shows high ENE windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is around head to head and a half with occasional bigger sets and a bit stormy.

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