6Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Waves are still present in the bay. Visibility is improving but likely still too cloudy for snorkeling.
- Surf: 4-5 ft.
- Weather: Sunny, with a high near 80. Northeast wind 5 to 11 mph.
-
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.

4Ka'anapali Beach
Sheraton Black Rock, Airport-Kahekili Beach- Overall Conditions: With the swell subsiding and lower winds, Black Rock should be nice today. Currents are still strong so stay closer to shore.
- Webcam: Whaler condo. Sheraton
- Surf: 1-2 ft.
- Weather: Sunny, with a high near 81. Light northeast wind becoming north northeast 6 to 11 mph in the morning.
- 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.
