Big Island Surf Forecast

Kona side: Wave heights are expected to be ankle/knee high today.

South: Wave heights are expected to be knee/thigh high today. Spots catching the southeast could get up to tummy/chest high on the sets.

No significant swells are expected this week from the South Pacific. South-southwest swell is fading further and southeast swell will linger but drop off by midweek.

An east swell generated when Fernanda was a major hurricane will continues to linger. Trade swell also will pick back up as trade winds strengthen.

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.
