Thursdays Forecast:     South Shore Surf peaked yesterday from the SSW swell ( 180 - 200 deg. +, -  5 deg.) , as this has prompted the High Surf Advisory flags to be posted., as the winds turn more out of the SE and lightly.  Another round of SSW will be arriving by tomorrow ( Friday).....

Southern - SW facing shores are back in the building mode from the 180 - 200 deg. band. This will be reaching just above head high levels for the Kona breaks, as the true Southern exposures will have the largest sets.  That 200 deg. component should help fill in many of the SW - WSW facing breaks.

Windward breaks exposed to the East  are coming down in heights slowly with the ENE windswell, and E trades blowing in the Light range.   This windswell is reaching up to the 8   sec. span.  This will be picking UP by today with a far, upstream source of gale winds that reached the 11 sec. span

North shores have some pulses starting to show from a broad band of N - NE energy, two (2) separate activity. The Southeast winds will make this favorable for fun size surf...Aloha...pau

**Disclaimer*** Surf  figures that are reported on Hawaii Surf News reflect the actual swell heights before being tweaked and mutated by our shoreline structure. In other words, for a top to bottom breaking wave that would have at least a semi - decent face that could be shredded, cruised upon, bodysurfed, or whatever' floats your boat, add some height to the average reported figure for the true size of a top - bottom breaking wave. Then consider the tide, angle of swell, depth of shoreline, etc.. Reporting swell heights is more consistent for all breaks along any  given shoreline. There should be limited discrepancy with these figures.
