Kona side: Wave heights are expected to be up to waist/chest high on the sets for the best spots with northwestern exposure and tapering off through the day. Out of the south-southwest knee/waist/chest high waves.
South: Out of the southwest knee/waist/chest high today. Trade swell brings waist/chest high waves. Some spots around South Point may get wrap out of the northwest up to waist/chest high on the sets in the morning.
Our current northwest swell is expected to taper off and drop to leftovers by Sunday. A second large west-northwest swell is forecast to build Sunday through Monday, resulting in warning-level surf along north and west facing shores, including west facing shores of the Big Island.
Trade swell is expected to remain pretty small at waist/chest high or less.
