DISCUSSION
SURF ALONG EXPOSED EAST FACING SHORES WILL STEADILY LOWER OVER THE
WEEKEND AS THE WINDS DIMINISH LOCALLY AND UPSTREAM OF THE STATE. SURF
ALONG EXPOSED NORTH AND EAST FACING SHORES WILL QUICKLY BUILD THROUGH
THE DAY MONDAY, THEN PEAK ABOVE WARNING LEVELS MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH
TUESDAY AS A LONG-PERIOD NORTH-NORTHEAST (020 DEGREES) SWELL ARRIVES.
THIS WILL BE A LONG DURATION EVENT, WITH SURF LIKELY REMAINING ABOVE
THE ADVISORY LEVEL FOR EAST FACING SHORES THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK.
THIS SWELL DIRECTION WILL BRING LARGE SURF TO COASTS THAT TYPICALLY
REMAIN PROTECTED SUCH AS KUA BAY, HILO BAY, WEST MAUI, AND EXPOSED
SHORES OF LANAI. SURF ALONG EXPOSED WEST-FACING SHORES WILL RISE EARLY
NEXT WEEK AS A LONG- PERIOD NORTHWEST SWELL ARRIVES.
