Honolua Bay

Honolua Map
  • Overall Conditions: Occasional waves coming in the bay this morning. Better conditions south today.
  • Surf: 2-4 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.

Ka'anapali Beach

Sheraton Black Rock, Airport-Kahekili Beach
  • Overall Conditions: Some shore break north of Black Rock coming in. The south side looks really nice however stay closer to shore. The current are strong out by the point.
  • Webcam: Whaler Condos Sheraton
  • Surf: 1-3 ft.
  • Weather: Sunny, with a high near 79. Light and variable 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.

Olowalu Mile Marker 14

Black Rock, Kahekili-Airport Beach
  • Overall Conditions: Calm wind and low surf in the area. Looks like a nice spot today.
  • Weather: Sunny, with a high near 79. Calm wind becoming west southwest 5 to 7 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.
