Surf Forecast - Hawaii
5 Day Surf Forecast

Forecast Updated:
Friday, February 10, 2012 10:45 PM

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
Saturday 2/11	Up some	E 15+	Residual sideband swell 6.5 ft @ 13 secs later	8.0 ft	325 degrees
Sunday 2/12	Up some	E 15+	Teaser North Dateline swell building to 7 ft @ 15 secs	10.0 ft	315-320 degrees
Monday 2/13	Up more	ESE 15	Core North Dateline swell arriving at 8.5 ft @ 16-17 secs late AM	14.0 ft	325 degrees
Tuesday 2/14	Down slightly	SE 10	Continued dateline swell 8 ft @ 14 secs	11.0 ft	325 degrees
Wednesday 2/15	Down some	N 5 late	Dateline swell fading from 6 ft @ 13 secs early	7.5 ft	325 degrees
Extended Outlook	Up some	---	A broad but poorly organized gale was tracking over the Northern Dateline region Fri-Sat (2/11) with seas to 34 ft just south of the Aleutians with a smaller gale tracking right east of it. A mix somewhat larger swell is expected Mon-Tues (2/14). And another broad gale is forecast tracking over the dateline and positioned better to the south on Mon-Tues (2/13) with seas in the 32-34 ft range, offering good potential for Hawaii. But it's still several days from even forming so any particular outcome is uncertain. The Active Phase of the MJO continues trying to make limited eastward progress near the dateline offering some hope to continue the storm pattern for the next 2+ weeks.	---	---
