.DISCUSSION...
Surf along N facing shores remains small today as a small medium
period NW swell slowly declines into Monday. The next moderate,
medium to long period NNW swell will then arrive late Tuesday,
peaking Wednesday near High Surf Advisory thresholds along exposed N
and W facing shores, then declining through the end of the week.
Another overlapping small, medium period NNE swell arrives from
Thursday into Friday. Then another small, long period NW swell
arrives in Hawaiian waters by Thursday night, peaking late Friday,
then slowly diminishing into next weekend.
Surf along E facing shores will decline into Monday due to the
weakening of the local and upstream trade winds. As the high
pressure ridge moves east later this week, the combination of a
long easterly fetch of 15 to 20 kt winds upstream of the islands
from Tuesday through Thursday, along with strengthening local winds
along the cold front, will produce moderate and choppy surf along
E shores. For S shores, periods of tiny background south swell
energy will linger.

Product Legend:
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.
