Large swells from Hurricane Ana are impacting the south- and west-facing shores of the island.
The surf is forecast to range in height from 8 to 12 feet, according to the service.
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.
