A high surf advisory is in effect for all Hawaiian southern shores Saturday. Shown here, surfers enjoy high surf at Kewalo’s on Oahu.
A high surf advisory has been issued for the south shores of all Hawaiian islands, effective Saturday morning.
The National Weather Service in Honolulu said a moderate, south-to-southwest swell will bring advisory level surf to south shores from 6 a.m. Saturday to 6 a.m. Sunday.
Surf started building on south shores Friday, and was expected to reach 7 to 10 feet Saturday, forecasters said.
Officials warned of strong, breaking waves, and strong currents, which will make swimming dangerous along south shores.
“Heed all advice from ocean safety officials,” the advisory said. “When in doubt, don’t go out.”
