A High Surf Warning for north- and west-facing shores of Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau remains in effect until 6 a.m. Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service. The warning may be extended or modified as conditions develop.
Lifeguards are currently reporting waves of up to 30 feet on the North Shore and up to 15 feet on the West Shore, with very strong rip currents. Spectators are also advised to use extreme caution, as large breaking waves could make it dangerous for those standing along the shoreline.
