Forecast for Big Island Windward and Southeast

Forecast for Big Island Leeward

Swell Summary

Surf along exposed south-facing shores will remain small throughout much of the week, mainly due to a combination of background south- southwest and southeast swell energy. An upward trend is expected from Friday through the first week of June due to overlapping south- southwest swells. Surf along exposed east-facing shores will remain small and choppy throughout the week as the trades persist. Surf along exposed north-facing shores may increase slightly this evening through Monday due to a small, medium-period northwest swell expected. Otherwise, summertime conditions are anticipated with minimal surf expected this week.
