*High Surf Warning for Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau in effect through noon June 15*

The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a High Surf Warning for south-facing shores of Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau in effect through noon June 15. The warning may be extended, dropped, or modified as conditions develop.

The NWS is forecasting a south swell that will produce high surf along south-facing shores until Saturday morning. As the swell subsides, surf heights will gradually decrease through the middle of next week. The NWS forecasts waves of 11 to 15 feet.

Entering the water in these areas during the High Surf Warning is very hazardous and could cause serious injury or death. Beachgoers are also advised to use extreme caution, as large breaking waves could make it dangerous for those standing along the shoreline.

For updated information on ocean and weather alerts, visit the NWS website, www.weather.gov/hfo [ http://www.weather.gov/hfo?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery ].
