.DISCUSSION...
Over the next few days, models rapidly deepen a low in the north
Pacific, roughly 1,500 to 2,000 nm northwest of Kauai. A significant
fetch of gale to storm force winds associated with this low will be
pointed down the great circle route towards the island chain and
will produce XL surf late this weekend. Long-period forerunners
should start arriving around mid-day Saturday, then quickly ramp
up Saturday evening into the night. The peak of the event
currently appears to be Saturday night into Sunday with the
potential for giant surf (40 to 50 feet) along north facing shores
Saturday night into Sunday out of the 300-320 degree swell
direction. Surf heights will easily exceed High Surf Warning
thresholds for select north and west facing shores, in addition to
a SCA for rough seas. Surf along east facing shores will remain
small through the weekend due to the lighter winds. Select south
facing shores could see some westerly wrap from the extra large
northwest swell on Sunday.

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.
