.DISCUSSION...
A new moderate, long period northwest swell (320 degree) continues to
fill in 1 to 2 feet above guidance. A reinforcing north- northwest
swell (330 degree) is expected to fill in tonight and peak Thursday
morning, keeping surf elevated. A Small Craft Advisory has been issued
for seas building to 10 feet around Kauai and windward Oahu waters as
the current swell peaks later this morning. 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 evening.
Small, choppy east shore surf will become minimal over the next few
days as trades near and upstream become disrupted by approaching
fronts. Expect minimal background surf for south facing shores, with
a minor south-southwest pulse expected today into Thursday.

Product Legend:
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.
