Big Island Surf Forecast
Hilo side: Wave heights are expected waist/chest high today. The best breaks could be a bit bigger on the sets.

Our current north-northwest swell is expected to maintain through the middle of the week. Small west surf generated by Choi-Wan is expected to show Monday and Tuesday for exposure open to the swell.

Our current south-southwest swell is expected to hold Monday and begin to fade Tuesday.

East shores should remain small as light to moderate trade winds prevail. No small craft advisories are expected through the forecast period.

Nora may bring some east-southeast swell to the islands Monday/Tuesday. Will keep an eye on this and see how it develops.
 
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.
