Screen Shot 2016-03-27 at 9.55.24 PMMinimal south-southwest is expected through Tuesday. Nothing promising out of the SPAC anytime soon.

Looks like a large northwest swell could build Tuesday into Wednesday. The Big Island will largely be blocked from this swell but some size will still filter in. Models are showing another northwest swell around April 5th. Will keep an eye on the progress.

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.
