- Forecasters expect the system to continue weakening as it moves offshore, with maximum sustained winds dropping to about 45 mph by Tuesday afternoon.
- High surf advisories are in effect for east-facing shores, with waves expected to build between 10 and 14 feet as the swell peaks through Tuesday.
- Honolulu Ocean Safety Department Chief Kurt Lager is monitoring beaches closely, warning residents about "sneaker waves" that can sweep people into deeper water without warning.
