The National Weather Service in Honolulu has issued a high surf advisory for the Big Island’s north-, east- and south-facing shores through 6 p.m. Saturday.

The service estimated waves could range in height from 5 feet to 8 feet.

A high surf advisory means that high surf could affect beaches in the advisory area, producing rip currents and localized beach erosion, according to the service.
