NW Slowly Easing Today
Alerts (as of 1:00 a.m.)
A Small Craft Advisory is posted through 6 a.m. Tuesday for all Big Island coastal waters.
**Click directly on the images below to make them larger. Charts include: Big Island projected winds, tides, swell direction & period and expected wave heights.**
Hilo side: Wave heights for spots exposed to the swell are expected to be head high or more today. Smaller for spots without direct exposure to the swell.
Kona side: Wave heights are expected to be knee/chest high today.
South: Wave heights are expected to be knee/chest high today. Spots with exposure to the northwest swell could be bigger.
A solid northwest swell will continue Monday but begin to trend down for the Kona side. The Big Island will again be heavily shadowed from this swell.
Not much expected out of the SPAC anytime soon. Minimal southerly swells will trickle in over the next several days. There is the possibility of a little something around April 18th or so.
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.
