High Surf Warning for north- and west -facing shores in effect starting
Wednesday afternoon
The National Weather Service has issued a High Surf Warning for all north- and west -
facing shores of Kauai and Niihau that will take effect from noon Wednesday, Dec. 11, through
6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 12.
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
