.DISCUSSION...A small medium period NW (310-320 degree) swell peaked
this afternoon and is expected to slowly decline into Monday. The next
moderate, medium to long period NNW (320-340 degree) swell will then
arrive late Tuesday, peaking Wednesday near High Surf Advisory
thresholds along exposed N and W facing shores before gradually
declining through the end of the week. Another overlapping small,
medium period NNE (010-020 degree) swell arrives from Thursday into
Friday. Then another small, long period NW (320-330 degree) swell
arrives in Hawaiian waters by Friday, then holds through the weekend.
Surf along E facing shores will decline into Monday due to the
weakening of the local and upstream trade winds, though there may be a
brief uptick late tonight into Monday morning as a small, medium
period NE (040 degree) swell arrives. As the high pressure ridge moves
east later this week, the combination of a long easterly fetch of 15
to 20 kt winds upstream of the islands from Tuesday through Thursday,
along with strengthening local winds along the cold front, will
produce moderate and choppy surf along E shores. For S shores, periods
of tiny background south swell energy will linger.

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.
