National Weather Service Honolulu HI
310 AM HST Thu Mar 21 2024

.DISCUSSION...
The current moderate, medium to long period northwest (310-320
degree) swell will keep surf elevated today but gradually decline
through Friday. A new reinforcement small to moderate long period
northwest (310-320 degree) swell, is expected to arrive late Friday
with another slightly larger reinforcement from the same direction
Sunday night and Monday. Surf along south facing shores will return
to background levels for the next several days. Short period trade
wind swell will be below seasonal average through today and will
likely pick up Friday through the weekend as trade winds increase.

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.
