Big Island Surf Forecast
Hilo side: Wave heights are forecast to be overhead to double overhead in some spots today for the best exposures.
Kona side: Wave heights are expected to be waist/chest high today with shoulder/head high sets possible.
South: Wave heights are expected to be waist/chest high today with shoulder/head high sets possible.
Our current swell is slowly easing but still keeping wave heights elevated. A new northwest pulse is expected Monday and easing Tuesday. That same storm which generated the northwest pulse then re-intensifies to bring us a large north-northeast swell filling in Tuesday and peaking Wednesday before fading through the second half of the work week.
The North Pacific is looking to remain quite active further out with another swell forecast for the 2nd and more pulses right on the heels of that.
Nothing significant expected out of the South Pacific any time soon.
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.
