.DISCUSSION...
Southerly swell generated by Hurricane Lowell will keep surf along
south facing shores at High Surf Advisory criteria through at
least Monday night. As Lowell begins to turn more north, its swell
will gradually veer from south to southwest and begin a rapid upward
trend by Monday. Very large surf exceeding warning criteria is likely
for south and west facing shores of Oahu and Kauai, and surf may also
reach warning levels for the west facing shores of the Big Island,
including the Kohala coast on Monday. Surf will then rapidly decrease
on Tuesday after the hurricane passes north of the island chain. A
pulse of northwesterly swell could then bring a minor bump to north
shore surf on Tuesday and fade through Thursday.
East facing shores will see continued advisory level surf from a
large, medium-period east swell generated by Tropical Storm Karina to
the east of the islands. This swell will gradually fade early this
week as Karina weakens. Late next week, surf along east facing shores
could be bolstered by some medium-period swell generated by Hurricane
Marie in the East Pacific. Otherwise, expect choppy conditions from
easterly trade wind swell through 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.
