Kona side: Wave heights are expected to fill in to about knee/chest high today with tummy/chest high waves on the sets at the best breaks.
South: Wave heights are expected to be knee/chest high today from the northwest wrap with bigger sets mainly early in the day.
Our current large swell will slowly fade over the next few days. Another set of swells are expected to build Thursday afternoon and peak Friday. Another XL swell is expected for Monday the 14th.
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.
