9Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Breezy winds. flat surf. Inside the bay should be very nice again today even with what seems to be a tiny uptick in the surf.
- Surf: 0-1ft.
- Weather: Similar to the 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.
