The Hawaii Surf News . Com Swell Forecast

Wednesdays  Forecast:  East and South facing shores have the surf, but not the most favorable, overall conditions, due to the strong tradewinds.  Might be pinching down in strength today with the Easterly winds, but will still create choppy, onshore bumpy waters for our windward breaks, which is around waist - head high. South shores have a mix of directions with a moderate period SSW around waist - chest high, but is getting mixed and tossed from TD Elida that is passing to our South. Most of Elida's energy is traveling west, so don't expect much from that, and possibly toning down that SSW energy from it's dominance.....Small Crafts remain posted for our Southern offshore seas, and channels....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.
