West: Wave heights are waist high or more today out of the south-southwest. Some wrap from the WNW/NW swell.

South: Wave heights are knee/waist high today out of the south-southwest. Trade swell will be on the way down today.

Trade swell is expected to level off and hold through the weekend.

Our current south-southwest brings small but rideable waves through the weekend.

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.
