Kauai County Ocean Safety Bureau officials have closed all north shore beaches Friday due to high surf and strong currents.

Waves with faces between 15- to 30-feet-tall have been reported resulting in hazardous ocean conditions.

Beachgoers are urged to go to other guarded beaches on the island including Lydgate, Poipu, or Salt Pond.
