Advertiser Staff

A high surf advisory is in effect Saturday for the north and west shores of O'ahu.

Surf along north-facing shores is expected to build throughout the day, reaching to 18 to 22 feet by Saturday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.

Surf along west-facing shores is expected to hit 10 to 15 feet.

Surf along east- and south-facing shores will be 2 to 4 feet through Saturday.

The latest northwest swell will maintain advisory-level surf for the north and west shores through the weekend. The next northwest swell is expected to be slightly larger in magnitude and is due to arrive as early as Monday. This will be followed by smaller bump late Thursday.
