North: Wave heights are expected shoulder high to overhead today. Shadowed spots will be smaller with most size showing for Hana.
West: Wave heights knee/waist high are expected today with top breaks reaching chest high on the sets. Spots shadowed by other islands will be under knee high.
South: The south-southwest is expected to bring knee/waist high waves today. The best breaks could get up to chest high on the sets.
A new modest south-southwest swell is expected to move in Thursday and Friday.
Trade winds will continue to generate short-period surf along east facing shores and combine with a mid-period northeast swell through Friday. Solid shot of north-northeast expected this weekend, building Friday night and peaking late Saturday, early Sunday.
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.
