Islands under high surf advisory


Advertiser Staff

The National Weather Service has issued a high surf advisory for all islands until 6 a.m. tomorrow.

The advisory is in effect for the north, west and east facing shores of Kauai and Niihau, and for the north and east facing shores of Oahu, Molokai, Maui and the Big Island.
The surf is forecast to be in the 10- to 15-foot range along the north and east facing shores through tonight. Surf along east facing shores is forecast in the 7- to 10-foot range.
A high surf advisory means that large breaking waves, rip currents and localized beach erosion will affect beaches in the advisory area.
