SURF: Surf generated by Fausto is expected to begin building across
east-facing shores of the eastern end of Hawaii on Sunday, spreading
westward Sunday night into Monday, and continue building through
Tuesday as Fausto approaches and moves into the area. These
swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
