.DISCUSSION...
The current northwest swell will continue its steady decline. The
High Surf Warning (HSW) for exposed north and west facing shores
has been downgraded to a High Surf Advisory (HSA). Surf is
expected to continue to decline tonight into Friday.
A new long-period northwest swell will arrive late Saturday and
Saturday night, peak Sunday into Sunday night, then lower Sunday night
into Monday. This swell will give a boost to surf along north and
west facing shores, but will likely remain below advisory levels. The
next in the series of northwest swells will arrive early Monday, peak
late Monday and Monday night, then gradually decline through the
middle of next week. This swell may reach advisory levels as it peaks.
East shore surf not exposed to the series of northwest swells will
remain will remain very small today, then gradually rise Friday
through Saturday as the trades return over and upstream of the
islands. Surf will then hold relatively steady along east facing
shores through the middle of next week.
South shore surf will remain very small through the middle of next
week.
