.DISCUSSION...
A long-period N swell will rapidly build tonight, then gradually
diminish Friday. Additionally, a powerful low passing north of the
islands will produce a wide range of swells with directions ranging
anywhere from the SW to NNE, with the largest pulse being a NW swell
that will build on Friday. The locally generated wind waves that are
making for sloppy surf along south and west facing shores will linger
through Friday. Another N swell will arrive Sunday and peak Monday,
producing high surf along north facing shores. A couple moderate
sized WNW swells are also expected, a smaller one this weekend, and a
slightly larger one from Monday into Wednesday with the peak on
Tuesday.
