332 PM HST Sun Oct 22 2017

Surf along north facing shores will be 10 to 14 feet tonight and
Monday.

Surf along west facing shores will be 6 to 10 feet tonight and
Monday.

Surf along south facing shores will be 5 to 7 feet through Monday.

Surf along east facing shores will be 2 to 4 feet tonight, decreasing
to 1 to 3 feet Monday.

Outlook through Sunday October 29:
The current northwest swell is expected to decline on Monday. A
larger northwest swell is expected to produce surf well above the
advisory level threshold along north, and possibly west, facing
shores Tuesday and Wednesday. An even bigger northwest swell near
the end of the week may produce warning level surf. The south swell
will persist into Wednesday with surf near the advisory level.

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.
