The National Weather Service in Honolulu has cancelled the High Surf Warning.

Surf along the east- and SE-facing shores of the Big Island has dropped below the advisory level.

3:34 AM HST, HIGH SURF WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM FOR EAST-FACING SHORES OF THE BIG ISLAND

The National Weather Service in Honolulu reports that a swell generated by Tropical Cyclone Erick will continue to produce very large surf today along east-facing shores of the Big Island.

SURF: 10 to 15 feet along east-facing shores of the Big Island.

IMPACTS, High: Expect ocean water occasionally sweeping across portions of beaches, very strong breaking waves, and strong currents. Breaking waves may occasionally impact harbors making navigating the harbor channels dangerous.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS

Large breaking surf, significant shorebreak, and dangerous currents make entering the water very hazardous. Anyone entering the water could face death.
