Historic high surf warning this weekend along south facing shores of all Hawaiian Islands

Historic south swells will produce dangerous waves along south facing shores Saturday through Sunday, July 16-17, 2022. A combination of large surf and regular predicted water levels could lead to flooding of beaches that typically remain dry, especially at and around the peak daily tide (approx 6:00-7:00AM and 6:00-7:00PM, depending on location).

HIGH SURF WARNING NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM HST MONDAY

• * WHAT…Surf building to 14 to 18 feet during the day today then rising to 18 to 24 feet tonight through Sunday night.
• * WHERE…South facing shores of all Hawaiian Islands.
• * WHEN…Until 6 AM HST Monday.
