(BIVN) \u2013 The High Surf Advisory remains in effect for north-facing shores of East Hawai\u02bbi, as this morning\u2019s surf heights of 12 to 18 are forecast to decrease to 10 to 15 feet by this afternoon.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

UPDATE \u2013 (9 a.m.) \u2013 In Hilo, the following beaches are closed due to unsafe conditions:<\/p>\n

Coconut Island
\nOnekahakaha
\nCarlsmith
\nLeleiwi
\nRichardsons.<\/p>\n

Bay Front Highway will remain closed through today. Officials say conditions will be reassessed on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

The high surf is the result of \u201cstrong trades near and upstream of the islands\u201d, the National Weather Service says. The primary swell direction is expected to shift from north northeast to the northeast by this evening. \u201cThis will allow north shore surf to decline, but large surf will persist along east facing shores through at least Wednesday night,\u201d the forecasters said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

A Brown Water Advisory is also in effect for the shores from Hilo bay, north along the H\u0101m\u0101kua coast.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHigh surf and recent heavy rain has resulted in stormwater runoff entering into coastal waters,\u201d stated the Hawai\u02bbi Department of Health Clean Water Branch in the advisory. \u201cThe public is advised to stay out of flood waters and storm water runoff due to possible overflowing cesspools, sewer, manholes, pesticides, animal fecal matter, dead animals, pathogens, chemicals, and associated flood debris.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNot all coastal areas may be impacted by runoff, however, if the water is brown stay out,\u201d the Clean Water branch stated. \u201cContinue to practice good personal hygiene and follow-up with your primary care physician if you have any health concerns.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(BIVN) \u2013 The High Surf Advisory remains in effect for north-facing shores of East Hawai\u02bbi, as this morning\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":286010,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[192,79],"class_list":{"0":"post-286009","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-environment","8":"tag-environment","9":"tag-science"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286009","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=286009"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286009\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/286010"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=286009"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=286009"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=286009"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
