Wider weather episode

A storm low far south of the equator east of New Zealand produced surf of 8 to 12 feet along the south- and southwest-facing shores of all the Hawaiian Islands. Three individuals near Poipu on Kauai were assisted by lifeguards on the 11th due to problems they were having with the high surf. However, they suffered no serious injuries, and there were no reports of property damage around the state.
