KAILUA-KONA — Advisory-level surf continues to pound east-facing shores of the Big Island, Honolulu-based National Weather Service forecasters said Wednesday.
Strong trade winds continue to produce rough surf along east-facing shores of the island’s northern, southern and eastern coasts, forecasters said. Wave heights of 6 to 10 feet are forecast.
The high surf advisory will remain posted until 6 p.m. Friday.
Forecasters say a new smaller northwest swell is expected Thursday night through Saturday, followed by a new, large, northwest swell which will build late Saturday, and peak late Saturday night and Sunday. The swell will likely produce warning level surf along north- and west-facing shores, forecasters cautioned.
Another even larger northwest swell is then expected to build late Monday bringing another round of warning-level surf to north- and west-facing shores Tuesday through the middle of next week.
