...COASTAL FLOODING DURING HIGH TIDES THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON...

.The combination of a moderate to large, long-period south- southwest (200- 190 degrees) swell and King Tides will causev wave run up and could cause local coastal flooding during the afternoon high tide 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...Surf peaking up to 14 ft this morning and gradually easing through tonight. Wave run up expected during the peak high tide during the afternoon. A combination of surf and high water levels could produce nuisance coastal flooding.

* WHERE...South facing shores of all Hawaiian Islands

* WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, until 6 AM HST Wednesday. For the Coastal Flood Statement, through this afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Flooding of beaches that are normally dry, minor coastal erosion, and saltwater inundation. Moderate. Strong breaking waves and strong currents will make swimming dangerous.
