Update: High surf advisory for south-facing shores throughout Hawaiian Islands canceled
5 p.m. Tuesday update: The high surf advisory is canceled.
Original post: A high surf advisory is in place along south-facing shores throughout the Hawaiian Islands.
According to the National Weather Service in Honolulu, a moderate-sized, long-period south swell arrived Monday evening and will linger throughout most of Tuesday. Surf is expected to be 7 to 10 feet, then fall below advisory levels by 6 p.m.
However, another south swell arriving late Wednesday or early Thursday will lift south surf back up to advisory heights.
Strong breaking waves and strong currents are expected to make swimming dangerous.
