...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM HST THURSDAY...

* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 10 to 14 feet.

* WHERE...East facing shores of Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and
  the Big Island.

* WHEN...Until 6 PM HST Thursday.

* IMPACTS...High. A combination of higher than predicted water
  levels, large breaking waves, and strong onshore winds could
  lead to significant wave runup, beach erosion, and localized
  coastal flooding. Waves may wash across areas of the beach that
  typically remain dry, with potential overwash onto vulnerable
  low-lying coastal roadways and properties.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Heed all advice from ocean safety officials. Avoid driving
through flooded roadways. If you are forced to drive through salt
water, be sure to rinse your vehicle with fresh water. Move
electronics, vehicles or other valuables to higher ground. Monitor
vessels to ensure mooring lines don`t get too tight and watch out
for overwash around boat ramps. Secure canoes or other watercraft
stowed on beaches.
