The National Weather Service issued a high surf advisory for east-facing shores of Oahu, Kauai, Molokai, Maui and the Big Island effective from 6 p.m. tonight until 6 p.m. tomorrow.

Officials reported that an incoming north swell will bring advisory-level surf conditions with waves expected to be between 6 and 10 feet with moderate impacts.

Weather officials also said to expect strong breaking waves and strong longshore and rip currents, making swimming difficult and dangerous.

The public is advised to take precautionary preparations and heed all advice given by ocean safety officials.
