.DISCUSSION...
An overlapping north and northwest swell will bring advisory
conditions to north and west facing shores today through midday
Thursday. Most of the focus of the north swell will be directed
towards Niihau and Kauai. A High Surf Advisory has been posted for
Niihau, Kauai, Oahu and Molokai. Both swells will fall through the day
Thursday. Another northwest swell pushing surf back near the advisory
level Saturday.
East shore surf will be on the rise today and Thursday, primarily
from increased short period trade wind swell. Kauai and Niihau may get
some wrap around swell out of the north pushing surf heights just
below advisory level. East shore surf will decline through the weekend
as trades weaken over and upstream of the islands.
For south shores, tiny background south swell energy will persist.

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.
