Kona side: Wave heights are expected to be knee/thigh high today with the best breaks a bit bigger on the sets. Spots that aren’t as exposed could be flat.
South: Wave heights are expected to be under waist high high today, some spots could even be flat. Spots catching trade swell could get up to shoulder/head high.
Our current small southwest swell shifts a bit more south-southwest and lingers into the next few days. Just small pulses of southerly energy for the Hawaiian Islands through mid-month.
Trade swell will increase over the next couple of days. Nothing major expected out of the North or East Pacific through the first week of August. Tropical Storm Howard has potential to generate swell. Will keep an eye on it.

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.
