A high surf advisory will be in effect from 6 a.m. Wednesday through 6 p.m. Thursday for north and west shorelines of Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau.
National Weather Service forecasters in Honolulu report surf heights will build through Wednesday, peak Wednesday night and maintain advisory level heights Thursday.
Surf of 15 to 20 feet along north-facing shores, peaking at 18 to 24 feet, as well as 10 to 15 feet along west-facing shores, peaking at 14 to 18 feet, are forecast Wednesday and Thursday.
Moderate impacts are expected, with strong breaking waves and strong currents making swimming and other ocean recreation activities dangerous in waters along the advised shorelines.
The public should heed all advice from ocean safety officials; when in doubt, don’t go out.
