The National Weather Service (NWS) has extended a High Surf Warning for north- and west-facing shores of Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau through 6 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 21. The warning may be extended, dropped, or modified as conditions develop.

The NWS forecasts dangerously breaking waves of 30 to 40 feet. 

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.For updated information on ocean and weather alerts, visit the NWS website, www.weather.gov/hfo.
