Overnight surf threatens roads, but does little damage

Advertiser Staff

A high-surf warning remains in effect for northern and western shores until 4 p.m. today, but the predicted high surf early this morning didn't shut down roads or do much damage.

Surf up to 25 feet was predicted for the Wai'anae coast, but it never disrupted traffic and no shelters had to be opened or evacuations had to be made.

Likewise, Kamehameha Highway along the North Shore, where surf was expected to reach 30 feet, saw a few waves wash over places, particularly near Shark's Cove around 1 a.m. But other than leaving wet sand splattered across the road, damage appeared to be nil last night.
