Big Island Surf Forecast
Hilo side: Waist/head high surf is expected today. The best focal points might see larger waves on the sets. Messy conditions continue due to the winds.
Kona side: Wave heights of knee/waist high are expected for southerly exposures. Best breaks could get slightly bigger on the sets.
South: Wave heights knee/waist high today. Spots catching the trade swell could get up to chest high on the sets.
Our current south-southwest continues to drop through mid week. A small swell is expected for the second half of the week out of the southwest but really just small shots of energy out of the SPAC – waist high or less.
Flat conditions expected out of the northwest. A west-northwest is expected to build Friday and bring waves for the weekend. A northwest pulse could fill in midweek.
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.
