Update 2:00 p.m.

The National Weather Service canceled a flood advisory for Oahu.

A high surf advisory is in effect for north and west facing shores of Oahu, Niihau, Kauai and Molokai, north facing shores of Maui, and west facing shores of the Big Island through 6 p.m. Wednesday.

Weather officials expect advisory level surf to fill across north and west facing shores through tonight before rising to warning levels of 22 to 28 feet by late tomorrow and then lowering back down by Wednesday.

Ocean Safety officials are asking the public to be careful and expect strong breaking waves and currents which make swimming dangerous.
