Ocean Safety officials advising no swimming on north-facing shores for Jan. 10
Ocean Safety officials advise no swimming or snorkeling at north-facing shores west of Wanini
Beach for Jan. 10 due to a high surf warning and dangerous ocean conditions.
The National Weather Service has issued a High Surf Warning for all north- and west-facing
shores of Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau through 6 p.m. Jan. 10.
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/hfo.
For up-to-date information about Kaua‘i ocean conditions and ocean safety, please speak to a
county lifeguard at any lifeguard station, visit www.hawaiibeachsafety.com, or call the Ocean Safety
Bureau at 241-4984.
