.DISCUSSION...
The current moderate, long period, northwest swell (320 degrees)
continues to subside this afternoon, with the Waimea Bay buoy
currently around 6 ft at 13 seconds. This swell will continue to
decline through tonight so the High Surf Advisory (HSA) along
north and exposed west facing shores from Kauai to Maui has been
cancelled. North shore surf will be well below seasonal average on
Monday and Tuesday. A potentially larger northwest swell is
expected to arrive Wednesday and peak into Thursday. If current
guidance holds a HSA will be needed during this time, with warning
level surf possible. This swell will decline Friday and Saturday,
though there are high odds for a larger west-northwest swell
later this weekend.
As trade winds weaken over the next couple of days, surf along
east facing shores will decline and will be well below seasonal
average through much the week. South shore surf will be tiny
through the week.

Surf: Height of the surf from trough to crest (face value)
in feet.
Tides: Heights displayed are relative to the Mean Lower Low

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.
