1Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: North swell has picked up considerably. Calm winds. Nice day on the beach. Watch for large shore break.
- Surf: 5-6ft.
- 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.

Sheraton Black Rock, Airport-Kahekili Beach- Overall Conditions: Some wrap around from the north swell however it is not nearly as rough as the north bays. Watch for surge along the rocks and increased shore break as the day goes on.
- Webcam: . Sheraton.
- Surf: 2-3 ft.
