Advertiser Staff
Police and Civil Defense officials are reporting unusual surge activity off Ali'i Beach Park in Hale'iwa believed to be related to a massive earthquake this morning near Japan's Kuril Islands.Officials monitoring Hale'iwa Harbor reported that the water receded about five feet at about 8:10 a.m. and that a surge refilled the bay a few moments later.
A second, potentially larger surge was expected to hit the harbor about 10 minutes later.
