Swell Summary
Very small size, long period forerunners outracing the northwest (310 degrees) swell from once Typhoon Ampil are showing up at both Hanalei and Waimea Bay buoys early this morning. The lower period swell energy will fill in around Kauai's shores near sunrise. This swell will quickly lift surf to near head high within larger sets along Kauai's north and west-facing exposures this morning. Better blocked Oahu should experience this lifted surf by the afternoon. The recent south (190 degree) swell that peaked early Tuesday morning has leveled out and will hold small through the day before fading tomorrow. Wind wave eastern chop will increase in the next day or so as a result of strengthening trades over and upstream of the island chain.
