High-surf advisory in effect for east shores

Advertiser Staff

Waves along the north shore top the surf list today but a combination of swells prompted the National Weather Service to issue a high-surf advisory for east-facing shores on all islands through 6 p.m. tomorrow.

A building trade duce wave faces of 5 to 8 feet on east-facing

shores, the weather service said.

On north-facing shores, wave faces are forecast to be 8 to 12 feet with occasional larger sets.

West-facing shores will see wave faces of 3 to 5 feet.

Beginning tomorrow, a series of late-season south swells

will produce moderate waves for the rest of the week.
