By Associated Press

HONOLULU (AP) — A high surf advisory has been extended through 6 p.m. Monday for some of Hawaii's east facing shores. The National Weather Service is warning strong trade winds will mean rough surf along the eastern coastlines of Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui and the Big Island. Forecasters say beachgoers can expect 7 to 10 foot surf with strong breaking waves and strong rip currents making swimming difficult and dangerous.
