.DISCUSSION...
Surf along north and west facing shores will remain small this
evening, but gradually build overnight due to a growing medium period
north northwest swell (330-350). This swell is expected to produce
advisory or near advisory level surf Friday and Friday night. On
Saturday, a large to extra large, long period swell (350-360) will
quickly build in and produce warning level surf along north facing
shores with advisory level surf across west and east facing shores
that will continue through the weekend.
Surf along south facing shores will remain tiny into the weekend
with mainly background energy dominating. A small, long period
south swell could fill in later over the weekend into early next
week and provide a small boost to surf along south facing shores.
Surf along east facing shores will gradually build Friday and
Saturday with the return of trade wind flow over and upstream of
the state and also from the larger northerly swells wrapping into
exposed areas.
Moderate to locally strong trade winds will become fully
reestablished over the Islands by Saturday afternoon and continue into
the coming week.
