Advertiser Staff

High surf warnings are in effect for the north and east shores of O'ahu.

Surf along north-facing shores is expected to continue at 13 to 16 feet through this morning, then decrease to 10 to 14 feet this afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.

Surf along east-facing shores will be 9 to 15 feet through this morning, highest over shores exposed to the north swell. Surf will decrease to 7 to 12 feet later this afternoon.

Surf along south-facing shores will be 1 to 3 feet today while surf along west-facing shores will decrease to 2 to 4 feet today, forecasters said.

The surf may drop below the east shore 15-foot warning level late today and likely drop below the 8 foot advisory level by Wednesday. The north shore surf should drop below the 15 foot advisory level late today
