.DISCUSSION...
A small, long period south swell will peak this evening into Friday
with surf heights along south facing shores near summer average before
declining over the weekend and into early next week. A smaller
portion of this long period south swell energy will wrap around into
west facing shores.
A brief gale force low developing north of Hawaii will generate
some small, short period swell that will arrive late this weekend
and bring a slight uptick in surf along north facing shores. This
swell will be overshadowed by some longer period energy out of
the northwest generated by a storm force low developing near
Kamchatka that will arrive around September 2nd.
Below average surf expected to continue along east facing shores
due to gentle to moderate trade winds persisting through early
next week.

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.
