A high-surf advisory remains in effect until at least 6 p.m. today for the eastern shores of the major Hawaiian Islands.

Surf is forecast to range from 6 to 10 feet, whipped up by strong tradewinds, the National Weather Service said.

A small-craft advisory is also in effect for Hawaiian waters until 6 p.m. The channels should see northeast winds of 17 to 30 mph, with higher gusts, and seas of 7 to 11 feet, the weather service said.

The islands spent Saturday under a high wind advisory, with northeast trades of 25 to 30 mph and gusts up to 50 mph, the agency said. That advisory was set to expire at 6 a.m. today.

Hawaii island also was under a flash-flood watch Saturday, and a winter weather advisory was in effect for the summits of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa.

A rainfall record was set in Hilo on Thursday, and the weather service said the ground remained saturated — a potential for flash flooding. The total, 5.14 inches, broke the record of 3.85 inches for the date set in 1968, the weather service said.
