South: Wave heights are expected to be waist/chest high today out of the southwest. Spots with exposure from wind waves could be bigger than that.
Our current west-northwest is expected to ease Friday. Some northwest energy is expected for the weekend but will be largely blocked from the Kona side.
A small south-southwest swell is expected to continue filling in Friday into the weekend with waist/chest high surf expected.
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.
