330 AM HST Tue Jul 25 2017

Surf along north facing shores will be 1 to 3 feet through Wednesday.

Surf along west facing shores will be 2 feet or less through
Wednesday.

Surf along east facing shores will be 3 to 5 feet today, becoming 4 to
6 feet Wednesday.

Surf along south facing shores will be 2 to 4 feet through Wednesday.

Outlook through Tuesday August 01:
Trade winds will bring moderate but choppy surf along east facing
shores, though declining later in the week. Surf along east and west
facing shores may get a modest boost late Friday and this weekend as
swells from distant tropical cyclones in the east and west Pacific are
possible. Meanwhile, small background swells from the south and
southeast will produce small to moderate surf along south facing
shores this week.

Surf heights are forecast heights of the face, or front, of waves. The
surf forecast is based on the significant wave height, the average
height of the one third largest waves, at the locations of the largest
breakers. Some waves may be more than twice as high as the
significant wave height. Expect to encounter rip currents in or near
any surf zone.
