Alerts
The High Surf Advisory has been extended for the east facing shores of Maui and Molokaʻi until 6 p.m. Sunday. Surf along east facing shores could reach heights of 6 to 8 feet. Expect strong breaking waves, shore break and dangerous currents that make getting into the water hazardous and swimming difficult.
A Small Craft Advisory is posted for all Maui County windward waters and the Kaiwi channel until 6 p.m. Saturday. The advisory will last until Sunday at 6 p.m. for the ʻAlenuihāhā and Pailolo channels. Winds of 20 to 30 knots are expected and rough seas from 10 to 15 feet. Inexperienced mariners should avoid navigating in these conditions.
