(BIVN) – A High Surf Advisor has been issued for south-facing shores of Hawaiʻi through Sunday.
The National Weather Service in Honolulu says a moderate, long-period south swell will peak on Saturday, impacting the shores of Kaʻū and North and South Kona.
Surf heights of 8 to 12 feet are expected in the affected areas.
“Strong breaking waves and strong currents will make swimming dangerous,” said the Hawaiʻi County Civil Defense in a radio message. “Beach-goers, swimmers, and surfers should heed all advice given by ocean safety officials and exercise caution when entering the water.”
