The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a High Surf Warning for north- and west-facing shores of Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau in effect 6 a.m. on March 8 to 6 p.m. on March 9. The warning may be extended, dropped, or modified as conditions develop.
The NWS forecasts surf building 30 to 40 feet along north-facing shores and 20 to 30 feet along west-facing shores.
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.
