Powerful waves have rolled into Hawaiʻi Islandʻs southern coastline on Thursday as a south swell is pushing surf to advisory levels, creating challenging conditions for swimmers.

The National Weather Service in Honolulu issued a high surf advisory for south-facing shores of the island through 6 a.m. on Friday.

Surf is forecasted to be 7 to 10 feet high.

Beachgoers are advised to use extreme caution, as large breaking waves could make it dangerous for those standing along the shoreline.
