.DISCUSSION...
A moderate, medium period northwest swell (320 degrees) has filled
in across north and west facing shores, bringing surf heights
above High Surf Advisory (HSA) criteria. While this swell has
decreased in size a little bit early this morning, a slightly longer
period NNW reinforcement was observed on buoy 51001 late last night
into early this morning, which will result in a slight bump to surf
along north and west facing shores later today. Surf heights have been
updated accordingly. A HSA remains in effect for north and west
facing shores of Kauai, Oahu and Molokai and north shores of Maui. The
NW energy will gradually fade this weekend into early next week,
bringing surf back down to below average size for December for north
and west facing shores.
East shore surf will be choppy today with breezy trade winds, though
should decline this weekend as trades ease. Expect minimal background
energy for south facing shores through the next few days.

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.
