.DISCUSSION...
The current large long-period northwest swell will peak this
evening then gradually decline over the next few days. A
reinforcing northwest to north-northwest swell generated by a
compact low passing north of the islands today should arrive
Thursday night and could help maintain advisory level surf through
parts of the day Friday. A much larger extra-large west-northwest to
northwest swell is expected to quickly fill in Saturday evening and
peak Saturday night into Sunday. Giant surf will be possible during
the peak of this swell along north facing exposures.
Surf along east facing shores will remain small through the
weekend due to the lighter winds. Select south facing shores could
see some westerly wrap from the extra large northwest swell on
Sunday.
