.DISCUSSION...
A series of large northwest swells will produce periods of elevated
surf this week. The latest northwest (310 to 320 degrees) swell
peaked a couple of feet above guidance at NOAA buoy 51001 this
morning. Resulting surf peak well above the High Surf Advisory (HSA)
level along north and exposed west facing shores from Kauai to Maui
late this afternoon and evening. Surf will begin a slow decline late
tonight and should drop below advisory levels by Sunday afternoon.
North shore surf will be well below seasonal average by Monday, and
the swell will fade as it shifts out of the north-northwest on
Tuesday. A potentially larger northwest swell is expected to arrive
Wednesday and peak into Thanksgiving day. This swell will decline
Friday and Saturday, though there are high odds for a larger west-
northwest swell later next weekend.
As trade winds drop a notch over the next couple of days, surf
along east facing shores will decline and will be well below
seasonal average through much the coming week. A small south-
southeast swell will fade on Sunday, and south shore surf will be
tiny through much of the week.

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.
