THE SKINNY

Happy Aloha Friday. A stormy weekend is ahead, with a Special Marine Warning and Flood Watch currently in effect. For safety, avoid entering the water during thunderstorms and periods of heavy rain.

Southwesterly winds will be strongest from today through Saturday. Expect gusty conditions and reduced visibility in heavy showers across all marine waters as this strong Kona storm continues to impact coastal and offshore areas through the weekend. Please use extra caution over the next few days, and if you need to travel, do so safely.

Northwest: 0

Rain, along with possible thunderstorms and lightning, is making ocean entry extremely hazardous. Sudden downpours and soil runoff can quickly reduce visibility, creating murky, brown water. Avoid entering brown or murky water. Waves are also elevated as a new swell arrives, and ocean conditions are not safe.

Ka’anapali: 0

Ongoing storm activity is producing dangerous ocean conditions. Heavy showers and rising surf are quickly making the ocean rough and too dangerous even during short breaks in the rain. Runoff is also turning the water brown and murky in some areas. Avoid entering brown water, as it is not safe to swim in.

South Shore: 0

The south shore is extremely hazardous today. A south swell is increasing wave heights, and storms in the area are bringing periods of heavy rain. Even if conditions briefly improve, runoff is causing brown, murky water along parts of the shoreline. Gusty winds and elevated surf are expected to keep ocean conditions dangerous.
