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

* WHAT...Surf building to 14 to 18 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. In addition, tides are running higher
  than predicted and in combination with surf along east shores
  may lead to more inundation and coastal flooding during the
  daily high tide this afternoon.

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.
