YOUR  EXCLUSIVE 645AM SNN OBZ:  MONDAY SEPT 7th

LITE/MODERATE 5-15 ENE TRADES ALL WEEK; NORTHSHORE: FLAT; MAKAHA:HOLDS,SMOOTH FLAT. TOWN: HOLDS,CLEAN SSW 0-1.5'. DH: HOLDS SSW+SSE 1 BARELY 2'. SANDYS: HOLDS,SIDESHORE SSE/SSW 1-2'. MAKAPU'U: HOLDS,LITE ONSHORE WINDSWELL 1-2'

BIG PICTURE for Monday KEY NOTES: one of the smallest days overall with flatness N+W and mostly less than 2' S+E.  NPAC:  country's flat; energy from the High pressure to our NE 9/5 pushes out some 2' 9 second, ENE windswell from thursday for several days; only isolated NS reefs will pick it up. Models confirm the tiny NW swell coming from a weak gale low off the Kurils last week. Only 50/50 for a 9 second 2' NW waves to reach us filling on thursday 9/9. The jet does drop and consolidate this weekend leading to greater potential for NW swells. We are starting to see more regular but weak Lows coming down from  Russia and tracking back up  the bering sea. Even a small low pops Friday off Japan and tracks out way; it's our 1st one tho' its weak with just 14' seas. Still a chance of 2' NW around middle of month. High pressures to our north are  shifting more and weakening off and on...Falls approaching!    SPAC:  Sept. 2-4 showed some long fetch in the Taz Sea with gales as she moved right over New Zealand;  her gales move off to the east coast 9/4-5 with a decent track ENE; we should see at least chest high Taz swell and some head high 15 second SSW swell Friday evening 9/10 through the entire weekend; 
Friday-Tues. 9/3-7th a good storm force storm off southern Chile tracks ESE away from us limiting fetch potential. ETA for a long lasting 2.5' 13 second SSE swell is about the same time frame as the SSW. Hopefully the combo will create some higher sets. Windwaves also add to the mix from the HIgh off Chile earlier this week but only background. LAST: 9/7-12, 2 FAT storms one after another come from down SE of New Zealand by the Ross Iceshelf; the 1st one takes a more zonal or west to east track limiting the fetch on its west flank. But the 2nd Low which pops 7/9 starts bending NE and merges with the 1st storm and packs some 40' seas and generates some 18-20 seconds. Most of it goes to the west coast (big ones by 9/16) but we'll still see a good portion from angular spreading of swell trains. If all goes well these forerunners will be felt late on Tuesday 9/14 and the South swell will peak Wednesday-Thursday at least 2-4'. This is welcome news for those who gave up on Summer. EAST SWELLS: Surf holds 1-2' thnks to easing lite/moderate upstream winds + local trades from the distant  High pressures; NE swells purk up alittle later this week but nothing much over 2'. Wind swell continue ranging from 2' and 3' sets pending minor variations in trades.  TROPICS:  No other swell producing storms from this region are expected out 7 days. .
