CORRECTION TO HIGH SURF ADVISORY KONA COAST

.SYNOPSIS...AFTER A SPATE OF SCATTERED SHOWERS SATURDAY...A MORE
NORMAL TRADE WIND REGIME WILL TAKE HOLD FOR THE REST OF THE WEEKEND
AND INTO THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK.

&&

.DISCUSSION...THERE ARE A COUPLE OF ISSUES TO CONSIDER FOR THIS
UPCOMING PACKAGE. WE HAVE THE WIND ADVISORY FOR THE SUMMITS OF THE
BIG ISLAND AND THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY...ALL REQUIRING SOME THOUGHTS.
THE HIGH SURF ADVISORY WILL BE DISCUSSED IN THE MARINE SECTION BELOW.

CURRENT WIND DATA FROM THE ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORIES REMAINS IN THE
ADVISORY LEVEL. FORECAST MODEL SUGGEST THE WINDS WILL NOT START
SUBSIDING UNTIL AFTER MID NIGHT. THEREFORE THE WIND ADVISORY WILL BE
EXTENDED TO 4 AM SATURDAY.

OTHERWISE...NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE TO THE THINKING BEHIND THE
FORECAST. THERE HAVE BEEN ISOLATED SHOWERS ACROSS THE SMALLER
ISLANDS TODAY...MOSTLY ON THE LIGHT SIDE. THE WINDWARD BIG ISLAND IS
EXPERIENCING A TAD MORE SHOWERS ACTIVITY WHICH WILL LINGER INTO
SATURDAY. THE STRENGTH OF THE SHORT WAVE REMAINS THE BIG QUESTION
MARK. HAVE ELECTED TO WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS FOR THE SMALLER
ISLANDS ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON. IF THE SHORT WAVE HAPPENS TO BE
STRONGER...THE TRADES WIND FLOW WILL BE DISRUPTED AND THE BETTER
CHANCE FOR A HEAVY SHOWER OR TWO. SKIES ARE CURRENTLY BEAUTIFUL
OVER THE THE BIG ISLAND INTERIOR AND SUMMITS...BUT SOME CLOUDS AND
ISOLATED SHOWERS ARE ON TAP FOR SATURDAY AFTERNOON WITH THE
ADVANCING SHORT WAVE. THE 24 HR PRESSURE TENDENCY IS STILL POSITIVE
BUT HAS DROPPED OFF TO BETWEEN A HALF AND 1 AND A HALF RISE.

THE TRADES WILL LIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY THEN BUMP UP A NOTCH SUNDAY
WITH THE HIGH PASSING NORTH OF THE ISLANDS. THE TRADES DROPS A NOTCH
MONDAY AND START BECOMING MORE SOUTHEAST TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.

SWELL WILL LINGER TO 4 AM SATURDAY MORNING.

AT 4 PM FOR NIIHAU KAUAI OAHU MOLOKAI AND MAUI.

A HIGH SURF ADVISORY WILL BE ISSUED FOR THE SO-CALLED EAST FACING
SHORES DUE TO AN ABOVE NORMAL NORTH AND NORTH NORTHEAST SWELL. THIS
ADVISORY WILL BE GOOD FOR 24 HOURS..UNTIL 4 PM SATURDAY. SWELL DATA
FROM THE WAIMEA AND MOKAPU BUOYS ARE INDICATING A MIXED NORTHWEST
AND NORTH SWELL. THE NORTH SWELL COMPONENT HAS THE SAME MAGNITUDE OF
ABOUT 8 FEET WITH THAT OF THE NORTHWEST BUT THE NORTH HAS A LONGER
PERIOD OF 15...16 SECONDS. THE LONGER PERIODS TENDS TO HAVE MORE OF
A PUNCH. A CAUTIONARY STATEMENT HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR POSSIBLE HARBOR
SURGES FOR BOTH KAHULUI AND HILO HARBORS.
