*High Surf Warning for Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau in effect midnight Dec. 26 to 6 a.m. Dec. 27*

The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a High Surf Warning for west- and north-facing shores of Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau in effect midnight Dec. 26 to 6 a.m. Dec. 27. The warning may be extended, dropped, or modified as conditions develop.

The NWS forecasts that surf along north- and west-facing shores will build overnight, peak Thursday afternoon through Friday, and then slowly ease over the weekend as a significant west-northwest swell builds down the island chain.

Surf is forecasted to rise to 18 to 25 feet along north-facing shores, and build to 20 to 30 feet Thursday afternoon. Surf for west-facing shores will begin at 15 to 20 feet, then rise to 18 to 22 feet.

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.
