Surf Zone Forecast for Hawaii

.DISCUSSION...
Small surf will persist across north facing shores over the next
several days with background energy from the northwest and north
expected. An upward trend is possible late Sunday as a small
long-period north-northwest swell arrives from a system across
the far northwest Pacific. This upward trend will continue through
the first half of next week as a large medium-period northwest swell
moves in. Heights could reach advisory levels Monday night through
Tuesday night as this swell peaks. Thereafter, expect a gradual
downward trend with the swell direction shifting out of the north-
northwest by Thursday.
Surf along east facing shores will become rough as the winds peak
tonight, but should steadily trend down over the weekend as the winds
veer out of the south. Small surf will persist next week.
Surf along south facing shores should see a small increase by late
Friday as a new long-period south swell fills in and holds through the
weekend. If the moderate to fresh south- southwest winds materialize
as advertised later in the weekend, conditions may become rough and
choppy along southerly exposures.
