Northwest swell continues to fade through Saturday. The Big Island will again be heavily shadowed and won’t show the size as much as the other islands. Another swell is due in Saturday night, peaking Sunday afternoon.
A couple of small south-southwest swells will filter in this week at waist high or less. A fun size bump could fill in around March 7 – 9 for southern exposures. Tummy to chest high sets are possible with this swell.
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.
