Big Island Surf Forecast
Hilo side: Wave heights for spots exposed to the swell are expected to be head high to overhead today. Spots without direct exposure will be smaller.
Kona side: Wave heights are expected to be chest/head high today. The best breaks could get up to overhead or more on the sets early in the day.
South: Wave heights are expected to be chest/head high today with plusses in the overhead range.
Our current long period south-southwest swell is expected to trend down through the rest of the week. Not much expected out of the SPAC anytime soon.
Our current large northwest swell will continue to slowly fade today into Friday. Models are showing another northwest swell around April 6th. 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.
