.DISCUSSION...
The current short period northeasterly (030 to 050 degree) swell
will maintain advisory level surf along east facing shores tonight
into Thursday, where a High Surf Advisory remains in effect
through 6 PM HST Thursday. This swell will then decline late
Thursday through this weekend as local trade winds weaken.
Meanwhile, a small to moderate long period northwest swell is
peaking this afternoon into this evening. This swell energy is
keeping keeping surf along north and some west facing shores
elevated, but below advisory levels. This swell will then decline
late tonight through Friday. Another small, long period,
northwest swell is progged to enter the local waters this weekend,
which will again bring a sub-advisory level bump to surf along
north and west facing shores.
A small, long period, south swell that peaked earlier today and
generated surf near or slightly above the November average is now
fading. Therefore, expect surf along south facing shores to
gradually decline through the remainder of the week.
