.DISCUSSION...
Surf along east facing shores will slowly rise through Monday as
swell energy from Tropical Cyclone Kiko arrives. Latest buoy
observations from Hilo and buoy 51004 show some increase in the 10
second spectral bands, but only a subtle increase in the longer
periods. This suggests surf will likely come in below guidance in
the near-term with surf likely staying below advisory thresholds
through Monday. Although as Kiko nears the state late Monday into
Tuesday, we should see a rapid increase of swell with surf heights
possibly reaching low end High Surf Warning levels Monday night
into Tuesday along east facing shores. The rise in surf will be
short-lived with a steady decline expected Tuesday through Tuesday
night. Surf will likely drop well below advisory thresholds by
Wednesday. Note, peak surf heights will be highly dependent on
the track and intensity of Kiko as it nears the state.
The current moderate long period south-southwest swell will be on the
decline on Monday, but another reinforcing swell out of the south-
southwest is expected on Tuesday. This should help maintain surf near
or slightly above the summer average throughout the first half of the
week. Additionally, multiple small pules of northwest swell energy
will generate small surf along north facing beaches throughout the
week.

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.
