A high surf advisory for Hawaii Island’s south-facing shores remains in effect until 6 a.m. Sunday.

The service said a south-southwest swell will fuel waves ranging in height from 4 to 8 feet along the south-facing shores of the Big Island’s north, east, south and Kona coasts.

The service categorized the surf’s impact as “moderate” and advises the public to expect strong breaking waves and rip currents that can make swimming dangerous and heed all advice given by ocean safety officials.
