High Surf in Big Island North and East, Hawaii
High Surf December 7, 2019 – December 8, 2019 · Big Island North and East, Hawaii
The wider storm
A large swell shifting from the north to northeast generated surf of 6 to 12 feet along the east-facing shores of Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and the Big Island. The surf was high enough on the Big Island on the 7th that an over-wash occurred along Bayfront Highway in Hilo that left debris on the roadway, and a foot of standing water was observed on Coconut Island. Otherwise, no serious property damage or injuries were reported.
