This is a High Surf Warning information update for Sunday, March 26th at 9 AM. The National Weather Service has issued a High Surf Warning for the west-facing shores of Ka’u, Kona and Kohala effective now through Monday morning.

A High Surf Warning means there is a significant threat to life and property from the surf.

Surf up to 12 feet is predicted along these shores with highest surf heights to coincide with the high tides this afternoon and again early tomorrow morning. Oceanfront residents, all ocean activities and beachgoers along the affected shores are advised to be on the alert for possible high and dangerous surf.

Should conditions change, beach or road closures may occur without notice through tonight. You are advised to exercise caution due to the unpredictability of huge swells and dangerous surf.

Again, the National Weather Service has issued a High Surf Warning for the west-facing shores of Ka’u, Kona and Kohala effective now through Monday morning. A High Surf Warning means there is a significant threat to life and property from the surf.

Thank you and have a safe day. This is your Hawaii County Civil Defense.
