Solid swells are expected to continue for our northern exposures through the first few days of March. The Big Island will be heavily shadowed but will still see wave heights climbing.
A very small southwest swell is expected to continue through Saturday before fading. A fun size bump could fill in around March 6 – 9 as well.
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.
