AN EXTRA LARGE LONG PERIOD NORTHWEST SWELL WILL PRODUCE WARNING
LEVEL SURF FOR EXPOSED NORTH AND WEST FACING SHORES THROUGH
TUESDAY. A HIGH SURF WARNING IS POSTED FOR THESE AREAS, AND ALONG
WITH A HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR THE WEST FACING SHORES OF BIG
ISLAND THROUGH TUESDAY. A SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS ALSO IN EFFECT
THROUGH TUESDAY FOR MOST COASTAL WATERS EXPOSED TO THE LARGE
NORTHWEST SWELL.
ANOTHER EXTRA LARGE NORTHWEST (320-330 DEGREE) SWELL WILL BUILD
