Ka'anapali Beach

Sheraton Black Rock, Airport-Kahekili Beach
  • Overall Conditions: VeryLight winds. South swell is still pumping and wrapping around  a bit to creating moderate surf and surge. Watch for surge along the rocks.
  • Webcam: Whaler Condo. Sheraton.
  • Surf: 2-3ft.
  • Weather:
    Variable winds less than 5 kt becoming N 5 to 7 kt in the afternoon. Sunny. N swell 0 ft at 0 seconds. Waves 1 ft or less.
  • 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: No wind. South swell is still running. I did see a few people snorkeling just south of MM14 yesterday however it didn’t look great. I would skip this spot until the swell dissipates a bit more.
  • Weather: Variable winds less than 5 kt becoming SSW 5 to 7 kt in the afternoon. Sunny. N swell 0 ft at 6 seconds. Waves 1 ft or less.
  • Surf: 3-4ft
  • Notes: Give the turtles some space and don’t get your car stuck in the sand.

  • Overall Conditions: Same as yesterday. Still a good size south swell coming in with very light winds. Ahihi Kinau may be doable however, if in doubt don’t go out, this is a rugged spot if there is surf. Watch for rough surf along the shoreline.
  • Webcams: Wailea Marriott, Sugar Beach, Kalama Park
  • Surf: 3-4ft.
  • Weather: Sunny, with a high near 90. Heat index values as high as 96. Northwest wind 5 to 11 mph.
  • Notes: Winds may fill in later, always best to get out early.
