Ka'anapali Beach

Sheraton Black Rock, Airport-Kahekili Beach

Overall Conditions: Very breezy trade winds. Surf is still small but may pick up a bit. Looking very nice this morning but get out early before the wind picks up if you want calm water. Yesterday the winds filled in around 10am. Yesterday the water clarity was very good.
Webcams: Whaler Condo
Surf: 1-2ft.
Weather:

Scattered showers, mainly before noon. Partly sunny, with a high near 86. Windy, with an east northeast wind 18 to 23 mph decreasing to 11 to 16 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
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.
