A high surf advisory has been extended for north-facing shores of the Big Island through 6 a.m. Tuesday.
The surf, fueled by a north-northwest swell, is forecast to range in height from 10 to 15 feet along the island’s north and east coasts, according to the National Weather Service.
The service categorized the surf’s impact as “moderate,” noting that the public should expect strong breaking waves, shore break and strong longshore and rip currents that can make swimming difficult and dangerous. Beachgoers, swimmers and surfers are urged to heed all advice given by ocean safety officials.
