KAUA‘I FIRE DEPARTMENT
STEVEN R. GOBLE, CHIEF
(808) 241-4980
High Surf Warning issued for Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau from 6 p.m. Feb. 24 to 6 p.m. Feb. 26
The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a High Surf Warning for all north- and west-
facing shores of Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau in effect from 6 p.m. Feb. 24 to 6 p.m. Feb. 26.
The NWS forecasts surf building to 25 to near 40 feet along north-facing shores and west-facing
shores of Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau.
Entering the water in these areas during the High Surf Warning is very hazardous and could
cause serious injury or death. Beachgoers 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

Bureau at 241-4984.
