Today

Holding, fun size surf. Lully with swell better aimed to the east of HI. Clean in town.

S-SSE swell through the day. Far from a direct hit on Hawaii (much better aimed at the Americas), so just expect to do some waiting on sets.

Average breaks breaks see waves in the waist-chest high range while top spots see sets in the head high to gently overhead range on lully/pulsey sets.

Trades persist for clean conditions in town, but bumpier for Diamond Head.
