Our current NNW swell is forecast to peak Tuesday night and Wednesday, with highest surf near advisory levels along exposed N (and some W) facing shores. This swell should ease through next weekend. Unfortunately, the Kona side will be heavily shadowed from this swell.
A trade wind swell will be building in the next couple of days. Surf, however, is expected to stay below advisory level until maybe late in the upcoming weekend.

Keep in mind, surf heights are measured on the face of the wave from trough to crest. Heights vary from beach to beach, and at the same beach, from break to break.
