The National Weather Service in Honolulu has extended a high surf advisory for west-facing shores of the Big Island.

The advisory now remains in effect through 6 a.m. Tuesday.

Surf along exposed west-facing shores will continue to be near advisory levels tonight as a northwest swell remains in the region. Surf of 6-8 feet is forecast along west-facing shores of the Big Island.

Expect strong breaking waves, shore break and strong longshore and rip currents, making swimming difficult and dangerous.
