  • The National Weather Service in Honolulu has issued a High Surf Advisory for south facing shores of all Hawaiian Islands, in effect from now until 6 a.m. HST on Tuesday.
  • Surf heights of 7 to 10 feet are possible, with “strong breaking waves, shore break, and strong longshore and rip currents making swimming difficult and dangerous.”

From the Hawaiʻi County Civil Defense:
