High Surf in Molokai West, Hawaii

High Surf February 25, 2022 – February 27, 2022 · Molokai West, Hawaii

The wider storm

A large swell from the west-northwest generated surf of 20 to 30 feet, with occasional sets to 40 feet, along the north- and west-facing shores of Niihau and Kauai, and along the north-facing shores of Oahu, Molokai, and Maui; 10 to 20 feet, with occasional higher sets, along the west-facing shores of Oahu and Molokai; and 8 to 14 feet along the west-facing shores of the Big Island. There were no reports of serious injuries.

Beach erosion caused by many episodes of high surf over the years undercut a home on Oahu's North Shore between Rocky Point and Sunset Beach. This occurred in the early morning hours on the 28th.
