.DISCUSSION...
A moderate, long period northwest swell (320 degree) will hold
before reinforcing north- northwest swell (330 degree) fills in
tonight and peaks Thursday morning. These swells will keep surf
elevated, therefore a High Surf Advisory for select north and
west facing shores remains in effect through Thursday. These
overlapping swells will slowly decline Thursday night into the
weekend. Another moderate, long period northwest swell (320
degree) should gradually fill in on Sunday and could produce surf
near the advisory threshold by Sunday afternoon. A combination of
small north swells and small west-northwest swells then look to
arrive next week.
East shore surf will remain small through the forecast period due
to the absence of trade winds. Expect minimal background surf for
south facing shores, with a minor south- southwest pulse expected
today into Thursday. South facing shores could receive small to
moderate choppy windswell Saturday through next week from the
southwest winds. This would depend on the location and strength of
the front, likely largest for southwest shores of Kauai.

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.
