10Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions Very calm winds. Tiny surf. Another great day in Maui Nei!
- Surf: 0-1.
- Weather: ENE wind 14 to 18 kt. Scattered showers. WSW swell 0 ft at 0 seconds.
-
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.

Sheraton Black Rock, Airport-Kahekili Beach- Overall Conditions: Same as yesterday. Calm winds. Looking calm with maybe a tiny spill over from the south swell but overall very nice.

- Surf: 1-2 ft.
- Weather:
ENE wind 10 to 12 kt. Isolated showers before noon. N swell 0 ft at 0 seconds.
- 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.
