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.
MINOR COASTAL FLOODING DURING HIGH TIDE THIS WEEK FOR LOW
LYING COASTAL AREAS OF ALL ISLANDS...
...HIGH SURF ADVISORY CANCELLED...
.Peak monthly high tides combined with water levels that are
running higher than predicted will lead to minor flooding along
the shoreline and in low-lying coastal areas. Coastal flooding is
possible around the daily peak tide, which will be during the
early morning hours.
The highest swell energy with the current north-northwest swell
continues to pass just northeast of the Hawaiian Islands. Swell
heights have underperformed as compared to recent forecast model
guidance and north swell bias trends. Therefore the High Surf
Advisory (HSA) for north and west facing shores was cancelled this
morning, as surf heights will remain just below HSA thresholds.
* WHAT...Isolated minor coastal flooding.
* WHERE...Low lying coastal areas of all islands.
* WHEN...Through late tonight.
* IMPACTS...Flooding of beaches that are normally dry, minor
coastal erosion, and saltwater inundation.
