Big Island Surf Forecast
Hilo side: Wave heights are forecast from shoulder high to slightly overhead today for the best breaks.
Kona side: Wave heights are expected to be knee/waist high today in the morning and fading.
South: Wave heights are expected to be knee/waist high today in the morning. Spots that are more open to the northwest wrap will be bigger.
Our current north-northwest swell is expected to hold into Saturday before fading out over the weekend. Another modest dose of north-northeast is forecast for the 20th through 22nd.
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.
