The National Weather Service has extended a high surf advisory for most of Kauai until 6 a.m. on Sunday.

Surf from 18 to 24 feet is expected along north-facing shores and between 12 to 16 feet for west-facing shores. Surf along east facing shores is building to between 6 and 8 feet throughout the day, then 7 to 10 feet Saturday night.

Expect strong breaking waves, shore break, and strong longshore and rip currents making swimming difficult and dangerous. Beachgoers, swimmers, and surfers should heed all advice given by ocean safety officials and exercise caution.
