WEDNESDAY...very large surf from the west-northwest in store for late in the day on wednesday.
a new large west-northwest swell will start to arrive locally starting in the afternoon on wednesday. a powerful system packing winds in excess of 50mph generated a powerful groundswell in close proximity of hawaii. the system formed on sunday and rapidly deepened generating strong winds and high seas near 40ft on the opne ocean scale.
expect a rapid rise in surf wedensday afternoon with sets nearing 10-12ft locally. outer reefs should start to crack due to the long period initial swell of near 20sec. winds should back off from seabreezes late in the day.

THURSDAY...still stormy and rainy conditions with surf in the 3-5ft range at most spots.
the current north-nortwest swell will continue as the storm that generated the swell remains north of the islands. due to the storms close proximity waves will be disorganized and with close wave intervals. conditions will resemble those that have been around for the last few days since the start of the new year. winds are not going to help things as they are going to be strong and gusty out of the east-northeast.
