.DISCUSSION...
The northwest swell that provided High Surf Advisory surf heights
this morning will continue declining tonight. Surf across north
and west facing shores will likely look fairly small Saturday morning
before an XL NW swell builds rapidly in the afternoon through the
evening. This swell is expected to bring surf heights up to 35 to 45
feet at most north and west facing shores with larger waves at select
outer reefs. An altimeter pass from earlier today reflected swell
numbers consistent with model predictions, boosting confidence in the
forecasted surf numbers. This swell will peak Sunday morning, and
slowly decline on Monday. A High Surf Warning is in place for the N
and W facing shores of the smaller islands, with a another separate
warning expected for the west facing shores of the Big Island. The
reason for the separate warning is that the timing of the swell will
be slightly later for the western Big Island. Another moderate to
large NW swell is possible for the second half of next week from
another potential Gale to Storm force low that is forecast to develop
in the NW Pacific.
East shore surf will remain small through the weekend due to weak
winds. Select south- facing shores could experience westerly wrap
from this weekend`s large northwest swell passage.

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.
