DISCUSSION
A LARGE, LONG PERIOD NORTH-NORTHEAST (010-030 DEG) SWELL HAS
PEAKED EARLY THIS MORNING AND WILL LOOK TO HOLD THROUGH THE
MORNING HOURS BEFORE DECLINING THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. THIS
SWELL WILL PRODUCE BREAKING WAVES AT HIGH SURF WARNING LEVELS
ACROSS MOST NORTH AND EAST FACING SHORES THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON.
DUE TO THE DIRECTION OF THE LARGE SWELL, EXPOSED WEST FACING
SHORES OF WEST MAUI, WESTERN MOLOKAI, AND NORTH KOHALA ON THE BIG
ISLAND WILL LIKELY EXPERIENCE HIGH SURF ADVISORY CONDITIONS. THE
NORTH- NORTHEAST SWELL WILL GRADUALLY DECLINE TONIGHT AT HIGH SURF
ADVISORY (HSA) LEVEL CONDITIONS THROUGH WEDNESDAY BEFORE
CONTINUING TO DECLINE THROUGH FRIDAY. IN ADDITION TO THIS SWELL, A
SMALL PULSE OF OVERLAPPING WEST- NORTHWEST SWELL IS EXPECTED
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. SOUTH FACING SHORES WILL REMAIN TINY TODAY DUE TO
A SMALL BACKGROUND SOUTHWEST SWELL BEFORE FLAT WINTERTIME SURF WILL
CONTINUE ALONG SOUTH FACING SHORES THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK WEEK.
