High surf advisory covers east shores of all Hawaiian islands
A high surf advisory remains in place for eastern shores of the Hawaiian islands today.
The National Weather Service canceled a wind advisory for portions of Maui and Hawaii counties around midday.
The high surf advisory covers east shores from Kauai to Hawaii island through 6 p.m. Thursday.
Forecasters say rough surf of 8 to 12 feet is expected along east shores due to strong onshore winds and large seas, which will lead to hazardous beach conditions.
In addition to strong, breaking waves, strong currents will make swimming dangerous along these shores.
Forecasters also expect today’s strong tradewinds to gradually ease Thursday and Friday.
