7Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Similar to yesterday. Breezy winds. Surf is predicted to be moderate today but its not looking like much. Inside the bay may still be good if there is not too much surge.
- Surf: 2-3ft.
- Weather: Similar to the 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.
