Surf's up on Hawaii's north, east shores
Advertiser Staff
The National Weather Service today issued a high-surf advisory for north- and east-facing shores of O'ahu, Maui, Kaua'i and the Big Island at 4 p.m.
NWS lead forecaster Chris Brenchley said the advisory will be in effect until 6 a.m. Tuesday. The forecast is for 10 to 15 feet surf on north-facing shores and 6-10 feet for east-facing shores, said Brenchley.
The northwest swells are from a storm system in the northern Pacific while trade winds are causing the swells on the east-facing shores, said Brenchley.
