6Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Calm winds. Surf has decreased a bit today. Inside the bay should be better than yesterday. Watch for surge along the shoreline. Water visibility should be much better than yesterday.
- Surf: 2-3 ft.
- Weather: Similar to North Bays.
-
Notes: Rocky shoreline sheltered bay. Use the Honolua Lookout before the bay to check conditions. The water should be blue and you should be able to see the reef. If the water looks “milky” or green the snorkeling will not be good. If there are surfers on the north side of the bay the snorkeling conditions are probably poor or even dangerous. If it has been raining the river empties brown, muddy water into the bay and you should definitely stay out of the water.

6Ka'anapali Beach
Sheraton Black Rock, Airport-Kahekili Beach- Overall Conditions: Calm winds. Wrap around north swell bringing small surf. Watch for shore break and surge along the rocks. Visibility should be much better than yesterday. This is the best spot today.
- Webcam: Whaler condo. Sheraton
- Surf: 1-2 ft.
- Weather: NE wind 11 to 14 kt. Sunny.
- Notes: Don’t snorkel directly under Black Rock, you don’t want to get jumped on. Turtles as usual. Don’t forget they are protected so give them space but enjoy. If you venture around Black Rock stay close to shore. Watch for surge along the rocks.

- Weather: NNE wind 5 to 13 kt. Sunny.
