    The National Weather Service High Surf Advisory for southeast and southwest facing shores of Hawaii Island has been extended through Sunday evening.

    A High Surf Advisory means surf is higher than normal, shore break, and dangerous currents could cause injury or death.

    Beach-goers, swimmers, and surfers should heed all advice given by ocean safety officials and exercise caution when entering the water.

    Due to the high surf, the following County Park & Recreation facilities are closed;

    Honaunau Boat Ramp

    Kahalu`u Beach Park

    La`aloa Beach Park

    Old As Strip

    Kohanaiki Beach Park

    This is a Hurricane Lowell Information Update for Saturday 09-05-2026 at 07:49 AM.

    As of 5:00 am this morning, Hurricane Lowell remained a category 4 hurricane with sustained winds of up to 150 mph.

    Lowell is currently located approximately 630 miles south southwest of Lihue and 625 miles south southwest of Honolulu and moving in a westerly direction at 7mph.

    Although Lowell is passing far to the west of Hawaii Island, it is expected to bring high surf and possibly heavy rains and flooding conditions. Heavy rains could begin to affect some areas starting tomorrow afternoon.

    A high surf advisory is in effect for the south and east facing shores of all islands and the west facing shores of Hawaii Island through tomorrow night.

    Fluctuations in hurricane intensity are possible over the coming days and conditions will be monitored closely.

    Please continue to monitor local radio broadcasts in your area for official updates and advisories.

    Thank you for listening and have a safe day,

    This is your Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency

  5. Lowell is going to be a close shave... a very close shave. #HurricaneLowell #HIwx

  6. Yeesh, one wobble in the wrong direction and Kauai is in a world of hurt... This is going to be a close, close shave, at best. Spaghetti is not converging (yet). #HIwx #HurricaneLowell #Lowell

  7. TLDR on Hurricane Lowell and Hawaii seems to be:

    Wait and See

    NWS Honolulu: "
    Attention will shift late Sunday into early next week to the forecast track of Hurricane Lowell, currently a category 4 hurricane and around 600 miles southeast of Lihue. The National
    Hurricane Center track forecast moves Lowell slowly westward through Friday night with an abrupt northward turn and increase in forward speed on Saturday. While confidence is low whether a direct impact will occur or not, Lowell will likely bring some impacts to the state including storm surge, high surf, wind, and rainfall impacts to portions of Hawaii, particularly as it moves closest to Kauai County Monday and Monday night. The extent of these impacts could range from minor to major depending on the eventual path of the storm, and more specifically when the abrupt turn to the north occurs. Regardless, Lowell is forecast to be a category 3 hurricane at its closest proximity. Coastal inundation
    could also be exacerbated by the peak monthly high tides that are expected to occur Monday. Interests in Hawaii should continue to closely monitor the progress of Lowell through the upcoming Labor Day weekend, listen to the advice of officials, and ensure they have their hurricane plan and supply kit in place."

  18. Lowell is most certainly going to affect Kauai, time to batten down the hatches, IMHO. (actually, with that intense of a hurricane, maybe go visit relatives in Oahu) #Lowell #HurricaneLowell #Kauai #hurricanes #TropicalWx #HIwx
