Update, Jan. 19: The National Weather Service canceled the high surf advisory for Kauaʻi.

Original post: A high surf advisory is in effect for north- and west-facing shores of Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau till Monday at 6 a.m.

According to the National Weather Service in Honolulu, a moderate to large, long-period northwest swell (310-320 degrees) will bring advisory-level surf to exposed shorelines. Surf will rise rapidly today, peaking this afternoon, and drop below advisory levels tonight.

Surf heights are expected to rise to 14 to 20 feet.
