259 PM HST Thu Oct 16 2025
.DISCUSSION...Moderate, long period NW swell maintains near to above
average surf along N and W facing shores through the end of the week.
A brief moderate, long period NNW swell advances through the area on
Friday in maintenance of elevated surf and then tapers off Saturday.
Surf along N and W shores then trends down through the weekend. A
hurricane force low is forecast to develop east of Japan later today
and could bring another round of moderate, long period northwest swell
early next week. A series of small, medium to long period south to
southwest swells filter into the area into the weekend, keeping S
shores from going flat. Short period surf along E shores picks up
today into the weekend as trades strengthen.

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
