900 am HST Mon Jul 6 2009




Surf along south facing shores will be 2 to 4 feet through Tuesday.




Surf along west facing shores will be 1 to 3 feet through Tuesday.




Surf along north facing shores will be 2 feet or less through 


Tuesday.




Surf along east facing shores will be 3 to 5 feet through Tuesday.




Outlook through Sunday Jul 12:


increasing trade winds will result in the building of short period 


trade swell...bringing choppy surf heights for the east facing 


shores. Otherwise no significant swell is expected. 




Surf heights are forecast heights of the face or front of waves. The


surf forecast is based on the significant wave height in the zone of


maximum refraction. Some waves may be more than twice as high as the


significant wave height. Expect to encounter rip currents in or near


any surf zone.
