...HIGH SURF WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM HST WEDNESDAY...

* WHAT...Surf 12 to 16 feet.

* WHERE...East facing shores.

* WHEN...Until 6 PM HST Wednesday.

* IMPACTS...Very High. Expect ocean water surging and sweeping
  across beaches, coastal benches, and lava flows creating the
  potential for impacts to coastal properties and infrastructure,
  including roadways. Powerful longshore and rip currents will be
  present at most beaches. Large breaking waves and strong
  currents may impact harbor entrances and channels causing
  challenging boat handling.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Stay away from the shoreline along the affected coasts. Be
prepared for road closures. Postpone entering or leaving channels
affected by the high surf until the surf subsides.
