.DISCUSSION...A High Surf Advisory has been issued for west facing
shores of Leeward Big Island as WNW (290-300) swell builds through the
day. High Surf Advisory for N and W shores of Kauai through Maui
remains in effect. A combination of moderate northwest and north
swells will keep surf elevated through the week, possibly reaching HSA
levels along north and west facing shores from Wednesday into
Thursday. East facing shores remain tiny to small given the lack of
trade winds but shorelines exposed to north swell energy may remain
slightly elevated through the week. Surf along south facing shores
increases due to short period southerly wind wave chop.

Surf: Height of the surf from trough to crest (face value)
in feet.
Tides: Heights displayed are relative to the Mean Lower Low
Water (MLLW) datum in feet.
Surf heights can vary significantly from beach to beach along a
coastline. Surf larger than the upper end of the range provided in
the forecast will occur periodically, sometimes up to a few hours
apart. Expect to encounter rip currents in or near the surf zone,
with rip current strength increasing with surf size. Swimmers are
urged to exercise caution at all times and enter the water near a
lifeguard.
