8Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Still calmer winds. Inside the bay looks pretty good.
- Surf: 2-3 ft.
- Weather: Isolated showers. Mostly sunny, with a high near 78. Breezy, with an east wind 9 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 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.

- Weather: Sunny, with a high near 80. Calm wind.
- 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.
