.DISCUSSION...
Small to moderate northwest swell this morning will give way to a
long period forerunners of a new northwest (320 deg) swell building
late today and tonight. Surf should peak at High Surf Advisory
levels Monday and Tuesday for most north and west shores from
Kauai to Maui. Surf will gradually decline Thursday and Friday,
with some small northwest swell lingering into next weekend.
Tiny background south swell will prevail through the week.
A slight increase to near seasonal normal as medium-period easterly
swell from a distant tropical cyclone moves across the area
today. East shore surf will be small Tuesday, then increase and
become rough during the second part of the week as trade winds
build over and upwind of the islands.
