HURRICANE WATCH August 7, 2014 – Hurricane Iselle remains a Category 1 storm with sustained wind of 90 mph and higher gusts. Iselle will continue to track west-northwest toward Hawaii. Meanwhile, Hurricane Julio is located northeast of Iselle and is also tracking west-northwest, now as a Category 2 hurricane.

Hurricane Iselle is currently located about 350 miles east-southeast of Hilo, Hawaii. Large sea waves and swells, rough surf and strong rip currents will be the first impacts felt by the Big Island and Maui as Iselle approaches. The wind will increase across the Big Island later today, especially across the higher terrain, where wind gusts can exceed 75 mph. Wind gusts in excess of 60 mph will impact Maui late today and into tonight. This will likely result in widespread disruption of power. Rainfall amounts of 4 inches or greater, locally in excess of 8 inches, will lead to life threatening flooding and mudslides, especially over the foothills of the Big Island. The heavy rain may also lead to road washouts. Iselle will impact the rest of the islands with flooding rainfall and locally damaging wind gusts late tonight and Friday.

Hurricane Julio is centered about 1,340 miles east of Hilo, Hawaii, with maximum sustained winds now up to 100 mph. Julio will continue to strengthen across the eastern Pacific on a course that will take it near Hawaii later this weekend. Julio is tracking over warm waters, so slow strengthening will continue over the next 12-24 hours. However, Julio should then weaken as it encounters cooler waters and drier air by the time it gets close to Hawaii. Depending on the exact track, it could produce strong winds and flooding rain to some of the northern islands later this weekend. Recent computer models continue to show Julio passing north and east of Hawaii late this weekend which would cause less impact on the islands. However, a shift farther south with the models is not out of the question and Hawaii will need to continue to monitor the situation.

Saturday morning looks a bit smaller with all South swell backing off through the day. The better South facing breaks should see inconsistent waist to chest high sets.

We’ll also see some light, waist high, short interval, (6-8 seconds from a steep 310 degree angle), NW wind swell for the better West facing beaches.

* Decent tide push through the early morning.

Sunday morning should be another decent day for waves with waist to chest high sets out of the South, (from a fairly steep 175-185 degree angle), and continued, waist high, wind swell out of the NW.

The tide’s a little high at 10AM but that just means there will be a decent tidal push through the dawn patrol.
