.DISCUSSION...
Observations at nearshore PacIOOS buoys south of the islands show
that the long period forerunners have filled in overnight. Surf along
south facing shores will peak through the day near summer averages
before declining slowly over the weekend. Surf heights will return to
background levels by early next week along south facing shores.
Surf along north facing shores will see a small, short period
swell expected to arrive late this weekend. This swell will be
overshadowed by longer period energy out of the northwest
generated by a storm force low developing near Kamchatka that will
arrive around the first half of next week. This swell could
produce surf along north facing shores near the September average
of 4 to 6 feet during its peak. Below average surf expected to
continue along east facing shores due to gentle to moderate trade
winds persisting through early next week.

Product Legend:
Surf: Height of the surf from trough to crest (face value)
in feet.
Tides: Heights displayed are relative to the Mean Lower Low
Water (MLLW) datum in feet.
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.
