*High Surf Warning in effect for Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau through
Wednesday 6 p.m.*

The National Weather Service has issued a High Surf Warning for north- and west-facing shores of Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau currently in effect through 6 p.m. Wednesday, February 4. The warning may be extended, dropped, or modified as conditions develop.

According to the NWS, surf heights are expected to rapidly build along north- and west-facing shores this evening, peaking Tuesday well above High Surf Warning levels along most north- and west-facing shores as an extra large northwest swell builds in. Overlapping pulses will keep surf elevated through Wednesday before subsiding. Surf heights along north-facing shores are projected to reach 20 to 30 feet overnight building to 30 to 45 feet by Tuesday afternoon. Surf heights along west-facing are projected to reach 15 to 20 feet building to 20 to 30 feet on Tuesday.

Entering the water in these areas during the High Surf Warning is very hazardous and could cause serious injury or death. Beachgoers are also advised to use extreme caution, as large breaking waves could make it dangerous for those standing along the shoreline.
