            Outlook through Sunday Jan 11:

          
            the trade wind surf on the east facing shores will continue to 

          
            slowly taper off through the week. A west northwest swell arriving 

          
            Tuesday will continue to build on Wednesday and peak Wednesday 

          
            afternoon...producing near advisory level surf on the north facing 

          
            shores late Tuesday through late Wednesday.

          
            

          
            Surf heights are forecast heights of the face or front of waves. The

          
            surf forecast is based on the significant wave height in the zone of

          
            maximum refraction. Some waves may be more than twice as high as the

          
            significant wave height. Expect to encounter rip currents in or near

          
            any surf zone.
