.DISCUSSION...
A moderate size, medium to long period north northwest swell will
build through the day, peak this afternoon, and deline Thrusday. Surf
looks to peak this afternoon just below High Surf Advisory criteria
for north and west facing shores. A similar sized west northwest swell
is scheduled to arrive Thursday night and peak Friday at or near High
Surf Advisory levels.
Surf along east facing shores will remain rough and choppy just
below High Surf Criteria due to strong trade winds over and
upstream of the islands through Thursday before declining slightly
Friday and into the weekend.

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.
