DISCUSSION
UPDATE THIS MORNING TO ISSUE A HIGH SURF ADVISORY FOR EXPOSED EAST
FACING SHORES OF KAUAI, OAHU, MOLOKAI, MAUI AND BIG ISLAND IN RESPONSE
TO RISING SWELL FROM HURRICANE FAUSTO AT BUOY 51004. EXPECT RISING
SURF TO NEAR WARNING LEVELS ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS FAUSTO NEARS THE
ISLANDS.
THE CURRENT LONG-PERIOD SOUTH SWELL WILL HOLD STEADY AT ADVISORY
LEVELS THROUGH AT LEST THE MORNING HOURS, THEN BEGIN A SLOW
DECLINE LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. SOUTH
SHORE SURF WILL REMAIN ELEVATED ABOVE THE SUMMERTIME AVERAGE
THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK, BEFORE TRENDING CLOSER TO OR
PERHAPS A BIT BELOW NORMAL BY NEXT WEEKEND. A HIGH SURF ADVISORY
IS NOW IN EFFECT FOR SOUTH FACING SHORES THROUGH 6 PM THIS
EVENING.
LOCALLY STRONG TRADE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT ROUGH SURF
ABOVE THE SEASONAL AVERAGE ALONG EAST FACING SHORES TODAY. TRADE
WIND SWELL WILL THEN DECLINE DUE TO DIMINISHING TRADES TONIGHT
THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. A LONG PERIOD SWELL FROM
HURRICANE FAUSTO WILL BUILD TODAY AND MONDAY, THEN PEAK TUESDAY
INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY. THIS SWELL IS FORECAST TO PRODUCE ADVISORY
LEVEL SURF ALONG EAST FACING SHORES AS EARLY AS MONDAY, FOLLOWED
BY POTENTIAL FOR WARNING LEVEL SURF AS IT PEAKS ON TUESDAY INTO
EARLY WEDNESDAY. AFTER A BRIEF LULL LATE WEDNESDAY THROUGH
THURSDAY, EAST SHORE SURF WILL TREND BACK UP FRIDAY INTO NEXT
WEEKEND DUE TO A COMBINATION OF RISING TRADE WIND SWELL AND A NEW
LONG PERIOD EAST SWELL ASSOCIATED WITH TROPICAL STORM GENEVIEVE
MOVING IN.
SURF ALONG N SHORES REMAINS FLAT TO TINY TODAY. SOME INCREASE IS
EXPECTED AS FAUSTO OR ITS REMNANTS PASS NEAR THE REGION TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY, WITH NORTH SHORE SURF RETURNING TO TYPICAL FLAT TO
TINY LEVELS LATE WEDNESDAY INTO NEXT WEEKEND.
