.DISCUSSION...
Long period forerunners from an approaching northwest swell reached
the offshore 51001 and 51101 buoys late this morning. This has a
moderate size, long period swell reaching Kauai and Oahu this evening,
Maui around Midnight Monday. Swell will fill in around all islands
during the overnight hours and produce advisory level surf along many
north and west-facing shores of the smaller islands by late Monday
morning. A High Surf Advisory will be in effect from Monday morning
through Tuesday afternoon to account for over double head high surf
that should peak along many north and west-facing shores early Tuesday.
Surf will begin to gradually fall from Tuesday night through Thursday.
A series of very small, medium period southern swell impulses coming
from a couple of fast-moving southern gales passing south of New
Zealand will pass through this week.
East-facing shore wind wave chop will be small the next couple of
days. More rough surf will occur later this week as trades build
over and upwind of the islands

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.
