LIHU‘E — The National Weather Service issued a high surf warning for north- and west-facing shores of Kaua‘i and Ni‘ihau from 6 a.m. Friday to 6 a.m. Saturday.
The weather service forecast calls for north-facing surf rising to 20 to 25 feet, and surf along west-facing shores rising to 15 to 20 feet.
Entering the water in these areas during the warning is very hazardous, and could cause serious injury or death, according to a Kaua‘i Fire Department Ocean Safety Bureau news release.
Beachgoers are also advised to use extreme caution, as large, breaking waves could make it dangerous for those standing along the shoreline.
