A high surf advisory is now in effect until 6pm Wednesday. “A long period north swell generated by a large storm east of Japan will continue to arrive for the next several days and maintain high surf along north facing reefs. For these exposures hazardous surf of 8 to 10 feet will continue until Wednesday. Surf is expected to subside below hazardous levels by Thursday.
