A high surf advisory for the south-facing shores of all Hawaiian isles remains in place through 6 p.m. today.
The National Weather Service expects surf of 6 to 10 feet on all south-facing shores of Hawaii due to the tail end of south swell energy.
Strong, breaking waves are expected, along with strong currents, which will make swimming dangerous, the advisory warned.
The energy is expected to fade through the day and wane tonight but will maintain advisory-level surf through early afternoon hours.
Surf on north- and west-facing shores remains at 1 to 3 feet today and Tuesday, while the “east chop” surf on east-facing shores remains at 2 to 4 feet today and Tuesday.
Forecasters, meanwhile, expect drier conditions after a week of heavy rains, along with moderate, east to east-southeast winds through midweek.
