.DISCUSSION...
A quick hitting reinforcing northwest swell will arrive early
this morning that will help maintain HSA level surf through
8AM. North and west-facing shore surf should drop Friday
afternoon and evening. A very large northwest swell will produce XL
size surf along north and west-facing small island shores Saturday
night through Monday morning. Long period forerunners will begin
arriving Saturday afternoon, then surf will quickly ramp up Saturday
evening. The peak of this event is forecast to be from late Saturday
night through Sunday morning. There is a high potential for giant size
surf (40 to 50 feet) along the north- facing shores of the smaller
islands Saturday night into Sunday. East-facing chop will remain
small through the weekend due to weak winds. Select south-facing
shores will likely 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.
