7Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Swell continues to drop today into tomorrow. Some waves still present so take care along the rocks.
- 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.

7Ka'anapali Beach
Sheraton Black Rock, Airport-Kahekili Beach- Overall Conditions: Similar to yesterday. Calmer wind and smaller waves today. Looks like a nice day in Ka’anapali.
- Webcam: Whaler Condos Sheraton
- Surf: 0-1 ft.
- Weather: Variable winds 5 kt or less. 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.

8Olowalu Mile Marker 14
Olowalu Beach- Overall Conditions: Similar to yesterday. Calmer winds in this area. Still some smaller waves in the area causing visibility issues.
- Weather: Sunny, with a high near 78. Northeast wind 7 to 11 mph.
- 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.
