High surf closed Hilo's Bayfront Highway for five hours on Feb 23, with 30-foot waves prompting evacuations and no injuries.
Bayfront Highway in Hilo was closed near Waianuenue Avenue and Pauahi Street on February 23 due to high surf and debris, with officials citing waves up to 30 feet on north-facing coasts.
The closure, lasting about five hours, was prompted by a northeast swell and a high surf warning that remained in effect through Tuesday evening.
Authorities urged drivers to avoid the shoreline and use alternate routes, with no injuries reported.
The road was reopened after safety assessments confirmed conditions had stabilized.
The closure was part of broader weather-related disruptions across the state, including suspended Global Entry services and ongoing coastal hazards.
