...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE SOUTH FACING
SHORES OF ALL HAWAIIAN ISLANDS THROUGH MONDAY...
...COASTAL FLOOD STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR ALL SHORES OF
ALL HAWAIIAN ISLANDS THROUGH TONIGHT...

A large south swell will produce high end advisory level surf
along all south facing shores. Surf heights will begin to
gradually decline today and tonight. The High Surf Advisory was
extended in time through Monday.

Peak afternoon high tides, combined with elevated water levels
running about a half a foot higher than normal, will lead to
minor flooding along most shorelines and low lying coastal areas
today. Water levels should fall below thresholds by Monday.

Corrected the surf heights in the WHAT section to show decreasing
High Surf Advisory trends through Monday.
