A south swell has prompted a high surf advisory for the Big Island’s north-, south-, east- and west-facing through 6 a.m. Thursday.
The National Weather Service in Honolulu forecast waves ranging in height from 5 to 8 feet this afternoon. Heights are expected to build to 8 to 12 feet this evening and remain at that level through Wednesday.
A high surf advisory means waves along affected shores will be higher than normal, and dangerous rip currents are expected. The service said the surf’s impact should be moderate and urges beachgoers, swimmers and surfers to exercise caution and heed advice given by ocean safety officials.
