Decent size N energy continues at the buoys. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half to double with a light onshore flow. In case they run the Pipe contest, the streaming will be here.

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.

With a low spinning so close to the islands, there's no lack of short period NW to N energy at the buoys. Home guess for Hookipa is around head and a half to double and clean in the morning before the wind switches onshore at one point.
