High surf warning issued for shores on all Hawaii islands
HONOLULU – Officials have issued a high-surf warning for south-facing shores on all of Hawaii’s islands.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports the National Weather Service in Honolulu issued the warning Sunday and says it will remain in effect until 6 a.m. Monday.
Officials say large surf and dangerous currents can make being in the ocean extremely dangerous for anyone entering the water.
Officials say waves up to 10-15 feet (3.05-4.57 metres) are expected through late Sunday, dropping to 8-12 feet (2.44-3.66 metres) by Monday.
Officials say those in affected areas can expect seawater to occasionally sweep across portions of beaches.
Strong waves are expected to break onshore, along with stronger longshore and rip currents.
