Updated at 4:03 p.m. on Feb. 11: A high surf advisory is now in effect until 6 a.m. Monday, Feb. 13, for south Kauaʻi. The high surf warning that was in effect for all east-facing shores of Kauaʻi and Niʻihau was canceled.

The National Weather Service in Honolulu says a large and very rough trade wind swell will gradually decline during the next couple of days, though east-shore surf will remain above the advisory level through at least Sunday night. Surf along some east-facing shores could remain elevated Monday through Wednesday.

Large breaking waves of 10 to 14 feet are forecast tonight, declining to 8 to 12 feet Sunday.

Strong breaking waves and strong currents will make swimming dangerous in the advisory areas. Heed all advice from ocean safety officials. When in doubt, don’t go out.

In addition, a wind advisory that was in effect for both islands also was canceled, as winds have fallen below the advisory threshold.
