‘Double-overhead’ surf could hit south shores
A high surf advisory is in effect for south-facing shores of all islands until 6 p.m. Thursday.
Waves faces of 5- to 8-feet are expected today, with surf peaking at 8- to 10-feet Wednesday.
Forecasters say surfers could see double-overhead waves at select locations through Thursday.
The National Weather Service says the swell is from a storm system southeast of New Zealand last week.
The high surf advisory means large breaking waves will affect exposed beaches, reefs, jetties and channel entrances.
