6Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Similar to the past few days with a small decrease in surf and the wind. Small to moderate surf. Breezy winds. Moderate surge in the bays with an expected decrease in water clarity.
- Surf: 2-3 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 the past few days. Breezy winds with small surf. If you don’t mind the wind the water clarity should be pretty good. Get out there.
- Webcam: Whaler Condos Sheraton
- Surf: 1-3 ft.
- Weather: ENE wind 17 to 19 kt. Isolated 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.
