.DISCUSSION...
A moderate, medium period northwest swell (320 degrees) has filled
in across north and west facing shores bringing surf heights
above High Surf Advisory (HSA) criteria. This swell is expected to
peak this morning, then ease into the weekend. A HSA is in effect
for north and west facing shores of Kauai, Oahu and Molokai and
north shores of Maui. This swell will hold today, then gradually
fade and veer to the north northwest through the remainder of the
weekend and into early next week and bring below average surf for
December for north and west facing shores.
East shore surf will gradually build and become choppy today as
trade winds increase. Expect minimal background energy for south
facing shores through much of the week.
Peak monthly tides combined with water levels that are running
higher than predicted will likely lead to minor flooding along
the shoreline and in low-lying coastal areas. Coastal flooding is
possible around the daily peak tide, which will be during the
early morning hours. This could also magnify effects of the high
surf on coastal areas along north and west facing shores around
the same time frame.

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.
