LIHU‘E — The National Weather Service has issued a high surf warning for all north- and west-facing shores of Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau in effect through 6 a.m. on Sunday.
According to the NWS, surf heights are expected to increase Saturday to 25 to 30 feet along north-facing shores and 15 to 20 feet along west-facing shores.
Entering the water in these areas during the High Surf Warning is very hazardous and could cause serious injury or death. Spectators are also advised to use extreme caution, as large breaking waves could make it dangerous for those standing along the shoreline.
