High Surf Warning for Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau extended through 6 p.m., Dec. 23

The National Weather Service (NWS) has extended the High Surf Warning for west- and north-facing shores of Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau through 6 p.m., Monday, Dec. 23. The warning may be extended, dropped, or modified as conditions develop.

The NWS forecasts warning-level surf will continue through much of today along exposed north- and west-facing shores as a significant northwest swell continues to impact the area. Heights will lower to advisory levels Tuesday, then drop below Tuesday night through Wednesday as the swell moves out.

Surf of 20 to 30 feet, lowering to 20 to 25 feet is forecast for this afternoon along north-facing shores, and  Surf of 18 to 24 feet, lowering to 15 to 20 feet this afternoon is expected for west-facing shores.

High Surf Warning for Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau in effect through 6 a.m., Dec. 23

The National Weather Service (NWS) has extended the High Surf Warning for west- and north-facing shores of Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau through 6 a.m., Monday, Dec. 23. The warning may be extended, dropped, or modified as conditions develop.

According to the NWS, an extended period of hazardous surf and beach conditions will persist into early next week along exposed north- and west-facing shores due to overlapping, winter-caliber north-northwest swells. Surf associated with this swell will remain well above warning levels through the weekend, then return to advisory levels around Tuesday of next week.

Surf up to 50 feet is expected along north-facing shores, and surf up to 35 feet is expected along west-facing shores of Ni‘ihau and Kaua‘i during the High Surf Warning.

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.
