5Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Calm winds. Surf report is calling for large north waves however, current surf is pretty small. Supposed to be some rain coming in but it hasn’t materialized yet.
- Surf: 3-4 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.

6Ka'anapali Beach
Sheraton Black Rock, Airport-Kahekili Beach- Overall Conditions: Similar to yesterday. Calm winds. North swell is not affecting Kaanapali this morning. Looks very nice.
- Webcam: Whaler Condo.
- Surf: 1-2 ft.
- Weather: Variable winds 5 kt or less. Scattered showers.
- 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.

Black Rock, Kahekili-Airport Beach- Overall Conditions: Calm to moderate winds. Small surf.
- Weather: Similar to north bays.
