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 weekend as the trades persist. Surf along north-facing shores will remain near the summertime average through the weekend. An upward trend is possible early next week for exposed north and west facing shores.
