Big Island Surf Forecast

ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW AD

Hilo side: Surf heights are expected to be chest/head high today.

Kona side: Surf heights are expected to be knee/waist high today. The best exposures could get a bit bigger on the sets. Exposures not open to the swell will be flat.

South: Surf heights are expected to be knee/waist high today. The best exposures could get a bit bigger on the sets.

Our current small southwest is forecast to fade Thursday. A south-southeast will blend in to that. Not expected to get very much past waist high.

ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW AD

A reinforcing pulse of northwest is forecast to fill in Thursday and bring a new round of chest/head high surf to Big Island northwest exposures. This swell will be short-lived and start to fade Friday.

Trade swell is forecast to bump up Thursday.

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.
