Surf Forecast - Hawaii
5 Day Surf Forecast

Forecast Updated:
Wednesday, September 8, 2010 8:56 PM GMT

Surf Scale: 3 ft = waist high, 4 ft = chest high, 5 ft = head high, 10 ft =double overhead
Swell Direction is direction swell is coming from. 90°=East, 180°=South, 270°=West, 360-0 = North

NOTE: Forecast does NOT account for enhancing bathymetry (i.e the 'reef effect') common at best breaks. For top spots with swell period 14 +secs, multiply surf size X 1.25-1.5 with peaks X 2 (or consider the stated size 'Hawaiian Scale').

Hawaiian North Shore Surf Forecast (Valid for the North and East Shores of Oahu)
Day	Trend	Wind (kts)	Details (Swell Number, Swell Size & Period, Arrival Time and Profile)	Waves (Set wave max face height)	Swell Direction
Thursday 9/9	Down	ENE 10+	Northeast windswell on the East Shore 2.8 ft @ 8 secs	2.0 ft	45 degrees
Friday 9/10	Down	E 10+ later	No swell of interest forecast	2 ft or less	---
Saturday 9/11	Down	E 15	East windswell on the East Shore up to 5.0 ft @ 6-7 secs later	3.0 ft	90 degrees
Sunday 9/12	Down	E 15	East windswell on the East Shore 5.0 ft @ 6-7 secs	3.0 ft	90 degrees
Monday 9/13	Down	E 10+	East windswell on the East Shore fading from 4.2 ft @ 6 secs	2.0 ft	85 degrees
Extended Outlook	Down	---	There's no suggestion of North Pacific gale development expected for the next 7 days. Though there has been consistent wind motion over the western dateline region, it has just not been strong enough to produce swell nor tracking east enough to penetrate the bulletproof high pressure system locked over the East Pacific. And that high is positioned a bit to the north, not having much ability to influence the development of trades beyond the 15 kt range with no real change forecast.	---	---

Hawaiian South Shore Surf Forecast (Centered on the South Shore of Oahu)
Day	Trend	Wind (kts)	Details (Swell Number, Swell Size & Period, Arrival Time and Profile)	Waves (Set wave max face height)	Swell Direction
Thursday 9/9	Down	ENE 10+	No swell of interest forecast	2 ft or less	---
Friday 9/10	Down	E 10+ later	No swell of interest forecast	2 ft or less	---
Saturday 9/11	Down	E 15	Minimal background southern hemi swell 2 ft @ 13-14 secs	2.0-2.5 ft	195 degrees
Sunday 9/12	Down	E 15	Minimal background southern hemi swell fading from 1.6 ft @ 12-13 secs with luck.	2.0 ft	195 degrees
Monday 9/13	Down	E 10+	No swell of interest forecast	2 ft or less	---
Extended Outlook	Up some	---	Looking down south a gale tracked east under New Zealand Mon-Wed (9/8) generating 45-50 kt west winds and 34 ft seas but aimed pretty well east and not so much to the north. Still, some degree of sideband swell is expected to be pushing north. On Thurs-Fri (9/10) this system is to regenerate while tracking almost due north with 40-45 kt south winds and seas to 36 ft but pushing a bit east of the Islands. The net result is to be some moderate southern hemi swell starting mid-next week and growing as the week wears on while turning more south to southeast. No other swell producing weather systems are forecast.	---	---
