WHAT
For the High Surf Advisory, surf of 10 to 14 feet. For the Coastal Flood Statement, minor coastal flooding.
WHERE
South facing shores of all Hawaiian Islands. Vulnerable low-lying coastal roadways, docks, boat ramps and other coastal infrastructure.
WHEN
For the High Surf Advisory, until 6 AM HST Tuesday. For the Coastal Flood Statement, through Tuesday afternoon.
IMPACTS
Moderate to high. Strong breaking waves and strong currents will make swimming dangerous. Flooding of beaches that are normally dry, minor coastal erosion, and saltwater inundation.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
The combination of the south-southwest swell and King Tides over the next couple of days will result in more widespread coastal shore impacts, particularly during the afternoon and evening peak daily tide.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
Heed all advice from ocean safety officials. When in doubt, don't go out. Do not drive through flooded roadways. Owners of properties in low-lying shoreline areas or near waterways should consider moving any electronics, vehicles, or other valuables to higher ground. Boaters should monitor vessels to ensure mooring lines don't get too tight and be aware of overwash around boat ramps at high tide. Any recreational watercraft on beaches, such as canoes, should be secured or moved.
