Kona side: Wave heights are expected to be knee/waist high today. The best spots could get up to tummy/chest high on the sets.

East-northeast trades are creating a trade wind swell for the Hilo side but will start to back down on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Overlapping northwest swells are expected through Thursday. Kona side will be heavily shadowed from these swells. A solid northwest is expected for December 2.
