...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR SOUTH FACING SHORES OF ALL
HAWAIIAN ISLANDS...

...HIGH SURF ADVISORY IN EFFECT FOR WEST FACING SHORES OF THE BIG
ISLAND...

.Rough short to medium period south-southwest swell from
Hurricane Nolo is expected to generate a quick pulse of advisory
level surf for south facing shores of all islands and west facing
shores of the Big Island today. While this is currently forecast
to gradually fade below advisory thresholds tonight, there is some
uncertainty in how quickly this will occur and it is possible
that advisory level surf may persist through Tuesday even as the
swell becomes southwesterly.
