A large northwest swell will bring warning level surf to the Big Island’s west-facing shores through 6 a.m. Tuesday, the National Weather Service in Honolulu says.
The service forecast waves ranging in height from 8 to 12 feet along west-facing shores of the Big Island’s Kona and Kohala coasts. The surf is expected to peak Monday and diminish overnight into Tuesday.
The service categorized the surf’s impact as “high,” noting that the public should expect waves sweeping across portions of beaches and very strong breaking waves and currents. Beachgoers, swimmers and surfers are urged to heed all advice given by ocean safety officials.
