6Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: The strong north winds have subsided. Moderate surf but smaller than yesterday. Again the surf report is calling for larger surf than we are experiencing. Watch for surge along the rocks. Stay close to shore. Inside the bay may be pretty nice today as it is sheltered from the wind.
- 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:Strong winds have subsided. Very small surf. Water visibility should be nice. Have a great day.
- Webcam: Whaler condo.
- Surf: 1-2 ft.
- Weather: EENE wind around 18 kt. Mostly sunny. N swell 0 ft at 0 seconds. Waves 1 ft or less.
- 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.

Black Rock, Kahekili-Airport Beach- Overall Conditions: Moderate to strong winds. Small surf. It should be nicer here today than it has been in a while.
- Weather: Mostly sunny, with a high near 85. North wind 6 to 9 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.
