Fausto’s Surf Threat Hits Hawaii | Honolulu News

Hurricane Fausto is barreling toward Hawaii, set to weaken to a tropical storm—but its real danger? Massive surf and deadly rip currents, hitting east-facing beaches first, then spreading. Add to that a separate south swell already slamming south shores with 7-10 foot waves. Officials are warning against risky spots like Makapuu tidepools, recalling the tragic 2016 Celia aftermath when two lives were lost to a rogue wave. With swells building fast and rescue delays possible, authorities are ramping up patrols and social media alerts. Stay out if you’re unsure—Hawaii’s waters can turn deadly in under an hour.
