DISCUSSION
THE CURRENT LARGE, LONG TO MEDIUM PERIOD NORTHWEST (310-330 DEGREE)
SWELL PEAKED EARLIER TODAY AND WILL GRADUALLY DECLINE THROUGH
WEDNESDAY, WITH SURF HEIGHTS EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOVE ADVISORY LEVELS
THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON ALONG EXPOSED NORTH AND WEST FACING
SHORES. THE HIGH SURF WARNING (HSW) FOR EXPOSED NORTH AND WEST FACING
SHORES HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO A HIGH SURF ADVISORY (HSA) THIS AFTERNOON
AND IS NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THE HSA FOR WEST
FACING SHORES OF THE BIG ISLAND HAS BEEN CANCELLED.
ANOTHER EXTRA LARGE, LONG PERIOD NORTHWEST (310-330 DEGREE) SWELL WILL
BUILD INTO THE REGION BY THURSDAY, LIKELY PRODUCING ANOTHER ROUND OF
WARNING LEVEL SURF ALONG EXPOSED NORTH AND WEST FACING SHORES LASTING
THROUGH FRIDAY, AND LINGERING NEAR ADVISORY LEVELS SATURDAY BEFORE
ANOTHER REINFORCING NORTHWEST SWELL BRIEFLY BOOSTS SURF HEIGHTS BACK
TO NEAR WARNING LEVELS ON SUNDAY AND SUNDAY NIGHT.
SURF ALONG EAST FACING SHORES WILL REMAIN SMALL THROUGH MOST OF THIS
WEEK DUE TO SHIFTING WIND DIRECTIONS FROM THE PASSING FRONTS.
HOWEVER, SOME EAST FACING SHORES SENSITIVE TO NORTHERLY SWELLS MAY
EXPERIENCE AN UPTICK IN SURF HEIGHTS THIS WEEKEND AS THE FADING
NORTHWESTERLY SWELL BECOMES MORE NORTHERLY. NO NOTEWORTHY SWELLS ARE
EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE STATE FROM THE SOUTH.
