Big Island Surf Forecast
Hilo side: Wave heights are forecast to be waist/shoulder high today and dropping.
Kona side: Wave heights are expected to be knee/thigh chest high today.
South: Wave heights are expected to be knee/thigh high today.
A new south-southwest is expected to fill in Wednesday and Thursday, peaking Thursday/Friday before fading. Yet another swell is forecast for around the 27th.
A storm developing off the Kamchatka peninsula is expected to send swell our way. If it develops as forecast, we expect northwest swell to fill in late Thursday into Friday, peaking Friday before beginning to ease Saturday. The Big Island will be heavily shadowed from this swell.
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.
