Description:
...HIGH SURF WARNING FOR SOUTH FACING SHORES OF ALL HAWAIIAN
ISLANDS THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING...
...COASTAL FLOODING DURING HIGH TIDES THROUGH TUESDAY...
.The combination of a large long-period south-southwest
(200 degree) swell and King Tides will cause significant wave run
up and could cause widespread coastal flooding during the
afternoon high tides along south facing shores. Also due to the
highest monthly tides and water levels running higher than
predicted at select areas, flooding along all shorelines and in
low-lying coastal areas are expected especially during the late
afternoon and early evening hours.
* WHAT...Isolated minor coastal flooding.
* WHERE...Vulnerable low-lying coastal roadways, docks, boat
ramps and other coastal infrastructure.
* WHEN...Around the daily peak tides during the late afternoon
and early evening hours through Tuesday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Flooding of beaches that are normally dry, some
minor coastal erosion, and saltwater inundation of low-lying
roads, docks, boat ramps, and other coastal infrastructure.
Instruction:
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.
