7Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Moderate surf dropping today into tomorrow. Inside the bay looks pretty good.
- Surf: 2-3 ft.
- Weather: Isolated showers before noon. Sunny, with a high near 78. Breezy, with an east wind 14 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
-
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.

7Ka'anapali Beach
Sheraton Black Rock, Airport-Kahekili Beach- Overall Conditions: Similar to yesterday with the lower winds and smaller waves. Black Rock looks very nice today.
- Webcam: Whaler Condos Sheraton
- Surf: 1-2 ft.
- Weather: Sunny, with a high near 80. East wind 5 to 10 mph.
- 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.

9Olowalu Mile Marker 14
Olowalu Beach- Overall Conditions: Calm winds. Very small surf.
- Weather: Sunny, with a high near 79. Northeast wind 6 to 11 mph becoming light and variable in the afternoon.
- Notes: Give the turtles some space and don’t get your car stuck in the sand. There is a sand channel that goes through the reef across the highway from the Mile Marker 14 post that is the easiest place to swim out.
