5 Day Surf Forecast

Forecast Updated:
Tuesday, June 23, 2009 10:23 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 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
Wednesday 6/24	Down	E 20+	New Zealand swell building to 2.6 ft @ 16 secs late	4.0 ft	190 degrees
Thursday 6/25	Down	E 15+	New Zealand swell building to 3.0 ft @ 14 secs	4.0 ft	190 degrees
Friday 6/26	Up slightly	E 15	More New Zealand swell filling in to 3.6 ft @ 14 secs	4.5 ft	190 degrees
Saturday 6/27	Down	E 20	New Zealand swell holding at 3.6 ft @ 14 secs	4.0-4.5 ft	190 degrees
Sunday 6/28	Up slightly	E 15+	New Zealand swell fading from 3 ft @ 13-14 secs	4.0 ft	190 degrees
Extended Outlook	Up some	---	A small cut-off gale formed just east of New Zealand Wed-Sun (6/21) with 35-40 kt south winds and 26-28 ft seas, offering decent odds for small swell pushing up into Hawaii starting late Tues (6/23) and holding for several days. Longer term a weak gale is forecast developing under New Zealand Wed (6/24) with 28-30 ft seas and tracking east while being reinforced with more wind energy building seas gradually to the 36-38 ft on Sat PM (6/27), then moving east of the Hawaiian swell window. This event to be aimed a bit east relative to Hawaii in it's later stages. Still there is some form of consistent swell producing energy likely for the Islands for the foreseeable future providing some thing to monitor.	---	---
