High Surf Warning for north- and west -facing shores through Wednesday
The National Weather Service has issued a High Surf Warning for all north- and west -
facing shores of Kauai and Niihau, in effect from tonight until 6 a.m. Wednesday.
Entering the water in these areas during the High Surf Warning is very hazardous and
could cause serious injury or death. Spectators are also advised to use extreme caution, as
large breaking waves could make it dangerous for those standing along the shoreline.
The warning may be extended or modified as conditions develop. For updated
information on ocean and weather alerts, visit the NWS website, www.weather.gov/hawaii.
For up-to-date information about ocean conditions, please speak to a county lifeguard or
call the Ocean Safety Bureau at 241-4984.
