7Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Similar to the north bays. Calm winds. A little overcast right now but the waves have dissipated and the water looks calm. Water clarity may be decreased a bit because of the past wave action.
- Surf: 0-2ft.
- Weather: E wind 15 to 19 kt. Isolated showers before noon.
-
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.
