SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 7...640AM 'OBSERVATIONS'

HI SURF ADVSRY 4 SOUTH STILL. 5-15+ ENE TRADES.NORTH REEFS NNW 0-2';TOP WEST REEFS HOLDS SSW 2-3+,EAST SIDE HOLDS 1-3',SANDYS HOLDS SSW+SSE 3-4+',TOP SOUTH REEFS RISE ON 3-5 OCC.6' SSW/SSE

BIG PICTURE: FRIDAY

NORTH PAC Broad High weakens due to Lows  inbetween  giving lite ENE Trades..chance of seabreezes thru Saturday. Up stream winds  lead to their 1-3' swells  with small variations.... A small system up by kamchatka traveled ESE towards us Monday thru Tuesday with a fetch of 30kt and 12' seas...she sends down a waist/head high NNW by Friday afternoon into Saturday...Then Thursday has a storm just under the Aleutians which tracks ESE to HI. with an apparent fetch and gets to within 900 miles of us by Sat...this will send a notch bigger than the previous system with just over head sets from the NNW Monday and Tuesday..slight chance of more 3' NNW end of upcoming week....SPAC:...last wed. a massive system (40-45' and 40-60kts confirmed) tracked east or zonal into the TAZ and getting out to the east of NZ from Thursday 8/29 into the wkend. this 2 punch fetch tilts northeast enough for a near double overhead SSW'r filling to advsry levels into Friday the 5th and 6th of Sept. Forerunner periods were 18-21 seconds and have leveled out to 3.5' at 16 seconds...this one will last several days  and veer south as the system maintains its east track and fetch..we may see a reinfrcmnt late Sunday>>Tuesday from a SSE angle. ..then we have a TAZ sea storm which we will watch...otherwise too zonal SE of New Z.. TROPICS: nothing for now.
JET STREAMS:
NORTH PAC: it bulges down to HI. and steers a decent storm into gulf for Calif and HI again Monday 25.
SOUTH PAC: the southern branch finally comes together for potential early Sept
