Ocean Safety officials are advising no swimming or snorkeling at all north- and east-facing beaches, including Lydgate Beach Park, due to high surf and dangerous ocean conditions.
A High Surf Warning for north- and east-facing shores of Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau remains in effect until 6 p.m. Thursday, according to the National Weather Service. The warning may be extended or modified as conditions develop.
Lifeguards are reporting waves of up to 20 feet and rising on the North Shore, and up to 15 feet on the east-facing shoreline, with very strong rip currents.
Spectators are also advised to use extreme caution, as large breaking waves could make it dangerous for those standing along the shoreline.
