312 PM HST THU APR 30 2026
DISCUSSION
THE CURRENT SMALL, NORTHWEST TO NORTH-NORTHWEST (320-335 DEGREE),
SWELL WILL SLOWLY DECLINE INTO FRIDAY AND PRODUCE NEAR AVERAGE
SURF ALONG NORTH FACING BEACHES. A COMPACT STORM-FORCE LOW
DEVELOPED JUST EAST OF THE KURIL ISLAND ON MONDAY AND TRACKED
TOWARD THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS FOR A FEW DAYS. THIS STORM SHOULD SEND
A MODERATE, LONG-PERIOD NORTHWEST (320 DEGREE) SWELL TOWARDS THE
ISLANDS LATE FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY AND GENERATE ABOVE AVERAGE SURF
ALONG NORTH AND WEST FACING SHORES ON SATURDAY. AVERAGE H1/10
HEIGHTS FOR NORTH FACING SHORES IS 6 FEET FOR THE MONTH OF MAY
(GODDARD-CALDWELL DATABASE).
SURF ALONG SOUTH-FACING SHORES WILL REMAIN SMALL THROUGH THE REST
OF THIS WORK WEEK, WITH MAINLY BACKGROUND SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST
SWELL EXPECTED. A SMALL, LONG PERIOD, SOUTH-SOUTHWEST PULSE
SHOULD ARRIVE LATE FRIDAY AND GIVE A BUMP UP TO SOUTH FACING
SHORES THROUGH THIS WEEKEND.
SURF ALONG EAST-FACING SHORES WILL SEE A BOOST TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY
AS THE TRADES BRIEFLY STRENGTHEN TO WIDESPREAD FRESH TO STRONG
TRADE WINDS. TRADES WILL THEN SLOWLY WEAKEN THIS WEEKEND AND
ALLOW SURF ALONG EAST-FACING SHORES TO DECREASE TO BELOW AVERAGE
LEVELS BY EARLY NEXT WEEK.
