.DISCUSSION...
A moderate, medium period northwest swell that was on a slight
decline earlier today has been followed by a slightly longer
period northwest reinforcement this afternoon. This has resulted
in an uptick in surf along north and west facing shores during the
day today. Based on observations from both the Waimea buoy and
offshore buoy 51001, the High Surf Advisory (HSA) for north and
west facing shores has been extended through 6AM HST Saturday
morning, and surf heights have been updated accordingly. This
northwest swell energy will gradually fade this weekend, bringing
surf back down below average Sunday and Monday. Another northwest
swell arriving late Tuesday or Tuesday night could bring surf
back up to near or slightly above advisory levels again for the
middle part of the week for north and west facing shores.
Choppy east shore surf will remain small and decline this weekend
as trades ease. Expect minimal background energy for south facing
shores through the next few days, other than a slight bump this
weekend.
