.DISCUSSION...
The current, medium period northwest swell peaked earlier today
and will continue to decline tonight into early Friday. Another
moderate, medium period, northwest swell (310-330 degrees) is forecast
to arrive Saturday into Sunday, and could once again produce surf at
or near advisory levels along north and west facing shores. Looking
ahead to the middle of next week, a large, long period, northwest
(310-330 degree) swell has the potential bring advisory or even
warning level surf along north and west facing shores.
East shore surf will decline Friday into this weekend as trades
weaken over and upstream of the islands.
Small surf is expected along south facing shores for the next
several days.
