Alerts (as of 1:00 a.m.)
Special Weather Statement: Coastal flooding is anticipated the Memorial Day weekend along all shores of the Hawaiian Islands due to record level spring (king) tides. Impacts include beach flooding, standing water on roadways and low-lying areas near the coast. A large summer south swell is also expected to exacerbate the problem leading to additional beach run up, flooding and erosion.
High Surf Advisory: South facing shores through 6 a.m. Sunday.

Our current advisory level south-southwest swell is peaking into early Saturday. A slow easing trend will begin on Sunday into early next week.
Our current north-northwest continues to fade. A small north-northeast pulse is forecast to move in Sunday. A fun northwest is forecast for the middle of next week. Will keep an eye on the models.
Keep in mind, surf heights are measured on the face of the wave from trough to crest. Heights vary from beach to beach, and at the same beach, from break to break.
