A high surf advisory that was issued for east-facing shores has been extended until 6 a.m. Saturday.

According to the National Weather Service, surf heights of 7 to 10 feet are expected along eastern shorelines. An easterly trade wind swell will remain at advisory levels tonight before dropping just below the threshold this weekend.

Impacts are expected to be moderate, with strong breaking waves and and strong currents that will make swimming dangerous.

Beachgoers are advised to heed advice from ocean safety officials — when in doubt, don’t go out.
