Hawai\u02bbi County will be closing beach parks along the South-facing shores of Hawai\u02bbi Island this weekend ahead of high surf and rough ocean conditions. The closures are prompted by reports of a large swell from the South Pacific that is expected to hit shores this evening and strengthen through tomorrow, Saturday, July 16. Waves are expected to be between 15-20\u2019 at their peak and hold through Sunday, July 17. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Beach Parks will be reassessed on Sunday, but with the swell continuing through Sunday and the possibility of debris in the parks, there is a chance they will remain closed until Monday.

\u201cWe\u2019re asking residents, particularly our surfers, boaters, and ocean gatherers, to exercise extreme caution along Southern shores this weekend,\u201d said Mayor Mitch Roth. \u201cThe swells accompanied by the remnants of Hurricane Darby may cause unpredictable ocean conditions that could lead to serious harm. We don\u2019t want to lose any of our loved ones and ask that folks don\u2019t go out when in doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
