313 AM HST TUE SEP 16 2025
DISCUSSION
NORTH SHORE SURF WILL HOLD AT TINY LEVELS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS. A GALE LOW THAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE GULF OF ALASKA IS
EXPECTED TO SEND A MINOR NORTH SWELL TOWARDS HAWAII LATER THIS
WEEK, RESULTING IN A SMALL BUMP IN SURF HEIGHTS FOR NORTH FACING
SHORES BEGINNING ON THURSDAY. AN ADDITIONAL SMALL NORTHWEST
REINFORCEMENT IS EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND. THE CURRENT SMALL, MEDIUM
PERIOD SOUTH SWELL WILL GRADUALLY DECLINE THROUGH MID-WEEK. A COUPLE
OF VERY SMALL REINFORCEMENTS ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS, THOUGH SURF WILL REMAIN SMALL. A SLIGHTLY LARGER LONG PERIOD
SWELL, GENERATED FROM GALES AND NEAR-GALES AIMED AT HAWAII THIS PAST
WEEKEND NEAR NEW ZEALAND, IS FORECAST TO ARRIVE IN THE ISLANDS BY
FRIDAY NIGHT. THIS SWELL WILL BOOST SOUTH SHORE SURF BACK UP TO NEAR
SEPTEMBER AVERAGES THIS WEEKEND. EAST FACING SHORES WILL EXPERIENCE
TYPICAL TRADE WIND GENERATED ENERGY THROUGHOUT THE FORECAST PERIOD.
