Big Island Surf Forecast

Hilo side: Wave heights are forecast to be overhead to double overhead today for the best breaks.

Kona side: Wave heights are expected to be knee/thigh high today with sets up to waist high for the best breaks.

South: Wave heights are expected to be knee/thigh high today with sets up to waist high for the best breaks.

Our current NNW swell is still showing Wednesday, with highest surf near advisory levels along exposed N (and some W) facing shores. This swell should ease through next weekend. Unfortunately, the Kona side will be heavily shadowed from this swell.

A trade wind swell will also show in the next couple of days. Surf, however, is expected to stay below advisory level until maybe late in the upcoming weekend.

Nothing significant is expected out of the SPAC in the near future.

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.
