...HIGH SURF WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM HST WEDNESDAY... ...HIGH SURF WARNING FOR EAST FACING SHORES THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON... .A east swell from Hurricane Fausto will peak today above High Surf Warning levels. The swell will decline on Wednesday as the system passes to the northwest. In addition, tides are running higher than predicted and in combination with surf along east shores may lead to more inundation and coastal flooding during the daily high tide this afternoon. * WHAT...Surf building to 14 to 18 feet. * WHERE...East Facing shores. * WHEN...Until 6 PM HST Wednesday. * IMPACTS...Very High. Expect ocean water surging and sweeping across beaches, coastal benches, and lava flows creating the potential for impacts to coastal properties and infrastructure, including roadways. Powerful longshore and rip currents will be present at most beaches. Large breaking waves and strong currents may impact harbor entrances and channels causing challenging boat handling. In addition, tides are running higher than predicted and in combination with surf along east shores may lead to more inundation and coastal flooding during the daily high tide this afternoon.
Stay away from the shoreline along the affected coasts. Be prepared for road closures. Postpone entering or leaving channels affected by the high surf until the surf subsides.
