Our current north-northwest swell is expected to begin fading today. The Kona side will be mostly blocked. Later this week a north-northeast swell is expected to fill in.

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.
