859 AM HST THU DEC 11 2025
DISCUSSION
ANOTHER MODERATE SIZE, MEDIUM PERIOD NORTHWEST SWELL FILLED INTO THE
REGION OVERNIGHT AND IS PEAKING THIS MORNING. SURF ALONG MANY NORTH
AND WEST- FACING SHORES WILL REMAIN ELEVATED THROUGH THE DAY.
THEREFORE, THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR THESE
SHORES THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THIS SWELL WILL SLOWLY DECLINE THIS
EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY. ANOTHER MODERATE, LONG PERIOD NORTHWEST SWELL
GENERATED FROM A DEVELOPING GALE LOW JUST NORTHWEST OF THE OFFSHORE
WATERS LATE FRIDAY WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THIS
SWELL COULD PRODUCE ADVISORY LEVEL SURF FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
MONDAY MORNING. IN ADDITION, A SMALL TO MODERATE SIZE, MEDIUM PERIOD
NORTH SWELL WILL ARRIVE SUNDAY AND BUILD THROUGH MONDAY BEFORE
GRADUALLY FADING INTO MIDWEEK, KEEPING SURF NEAR ADVISORY LEVELS
THROUGH MONDAY.
EAST SHORE SURF WILL REMAIN SMALL THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD DUE
TO THE ABSENCE OF TRADE WINDS, THOUGH LOCATIONS EXPOSED TO NORTH
SWELLS COULD SEE AN UPTICK SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. EXPECT MINIMAL
BACKGROUND SURF FOR SOUTH FACING SHORES, WITH A MINOR SOUTH-SOUTHWEST
PULSE FILTERING IN TODAY AND GRADUALLY FADING INTO THE WEEKEND.
SOUTHWESTERN EXPOSURES ON PRIMARILY KAUAI AND OAHU MAY RECEIVE SMALL
TO MODERATE CHOPPY WINDSWELL THIS WEEKEND FROM STRENGTHENING
SOUTHWEST WINDS AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING FRONT.
