...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM THURSDAY FOR EAST FACING SHORES... .Strong trade winds near and upstream of the islands will continue to produce large and rough surf along east facing shores through Thursday afternoon. The primary swell direction of the short period swell will be northeasterly (030-050 degrees). * WHAT...Large breaking waves of 10 to 14 feet. * WHERE...East facing shores of Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and the Big Island. * WHEN...Until 6 PM HST Thursday. * IMPACTS...High. A combination of higher than predicted water levels, large breaking waves, and strong onshore winds could lead to significant wave runup, beach erosion, and localized coastal flooding. Waves may wash across areas of the beach that typically remain dry, with potential overwash onto vulnerable low-lying coastal roadways and properties.

Heed all advice from ocean safety officials. Avoid driving through flooded roadways. If you are forced to drive through salt water, be sure to rinse your vehicle with fresh water. Move electronics, vehicles or other valuables to higher ground. Monitor vessels to ensure mooring lines don't get too tight and watch out for overwash around boat ramps. Secure canoes or other watercraft stowed on beaches.
