looked he passed/is passing just North of it from the continuous wind plot....  

Continuous Winds TIME
(GMT)  WDIR  WSPD
1750 SSW ( 195 deg ) 34.4 kts
1740 SSW ( 207 deg ) 37.1 kts
1730 SW ( 228 deg ) 33.4 kts
1720 W ( 264 deg ) 24.7 kts
1710 NNW ( 335 deg ) 28.4 kts
1700 N ( 350 deg ) 43.9 kts
 
Max 1 minute sustained wind so far is 50KTS, but this is his weak side if he truly is N of the bouy.  Also windspeed measurements are not always accurate on bouy's this far out because of maintainance difficulties.  Kicked up some 30 footers too.
