1/6, Update: High Surf Warning extended to 6 a.m., Jan. 8

The National Weather Service (NWS) has extended the High Surf Warning for north- and west-facing shores of Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau currently in effect now through 6 a.m., Wednesday, Jan. 8. The warning may be extended, dropped, or modified as conditions develop.

Significant and dangerous warning level surf will continue along exposed north- and west-facing shores, according to NWS. 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.
