.DISCUSSION...
Two moderate, long period NW and NNW swells moving through the
Hawaii region will keep surf heights elevated along N and W
facing shores through the end of the week. Surf along N and W
facing shores slowly trends down on Sunday. A hurricane force low
E of Japan will bring another round of moderate, long period
NW swell into the islands building surf heights along N and W facing
shores from next Wednesday onward. This next long period swell may
possibly reach low end High Surf Advisory levels from Wednesday into
Thursday if we add a one to two foot upward adjustment to swell
heights as compared to the ECMWF Wave model.
A series of small, medium to long period S to SW swells filter
into the area into the weekend, keeping S shores from going flat.
Short period surf along E shores picks up through the weekend as
trade winds strengthen.

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.
