Big Island Surf Forecast
Hilo side: Wave heights are forecast from overhead to double overhead + today for the best breaks.
Kona side: Wave heights are expected to fill in to about knee/waist high today, some spots could get sneaky sets up to chest high.
South: Wave heights are expected to be knee/waist high today from the northwest wrap with sets into the chest high range. Trade swell spots will continue to see blustery overhead + waves.
The Kona side will be heavily shadowed from our swells. Our current northwest swell is impacting the Hilo side and some wrap will move into Kona sides through tomorrow before slowly easing through the weekend. A couple more swells are looking promising for next week.
Nothing significant is expected out of the SPAC with minimal leftovers expected this week.
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.
