8Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Might be little runoff from the storm that passed through. Kapalua and Napili will be a better bet.
- Surf: 0-1ft.
- Weather: Scattered showers, mainly after noon. Mostly sunny, with a high near 86. Breezy, with an east wind 7 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%

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.
