.DISCUSSION...
The current northwest swell will maintain surf at moderate levels
along north and west facing shores. A reinforcement northwest
swell is expected to build Saturday with surf expected to rise to
advisory levels by the end of the day for the same shorelines.
Surf will likely be advisory levels to start the day Sunday, then
decline through the day. A potentially larger northwest swell is
expected around the middle of next week. Stay tuned for more
details as the low starts to develop to the far northwest of the
islands.
As trade winds weaken, choppy surf along east facing shores will
decline into the weekend and into early next week. Surf looks to
remain tiny to small through the forecast period with tiny
background southerly energy.
