.DISCUSSION...
Wednesday`s moderate size, medium period northwest swell was
reinforced by an overnight north-northwest swell and has been
peaking this morning. Surf along many north and west-facing
shores will remain elevated through the day. Therefore, the High
Surf Advisory will remain in effect for these shores through the
afternoon. Swell will slowly decline from this evening through
Friday. Another moderate, long period northwest swell generated
from a developing gale low just northwest of the offshore waters
late Friday will travel around the islands Sunday and Monday. This
swell should produce advisory level surf from Sunday afternoon
through Monday morning.
Southern facing shores, especially southwestern exposures on Kauai
and Oahu, may receive a moderate wind swell chop this weekend from
amped up southwest winds leading an approaching front.

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.
