.DISCUSSION...
The moderate, short to medium period west to southwest swell
originating from Tropical Storm Nolo will continue for Niihau and
Kauai through Friday night. Additionally, a small background south
swell continues for other islands, holding surf mostly steady along
south facing shores. A new small long period south swell, originating
from a large fetch of gale force winds southeast of New Zealand
earlier this week, is forecast to arrive beginning Sunday afternoon
and peak Monday through Wednesday.
A slight boost in north shore surf is expected on Friday due to a
brief, short to medium period northerly swell building into the
region. Additional rounds of tiny northwest swell energy will
reach north and west facing shores early next week as the storms
tracking near the Aleutian Islands become increasingly active.
Surf along east facing shores will see a slight boost and become
more choppy as easterly trades build back into the region this
weekend.
