High Surf Warning issued for Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau in effect through March 2
The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a High Surf Warning for east-facing shores of
Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau in effect through 6 a.m. March 2. The warning may be extended, dropped, or
modified as conditions develop.
The NWS forecasts surf building to 10 to 15 feet at east-facing shores.
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.
