9Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Similar to yesterday with the waves being lower and an east wind. Looks nice inside the bay.
- Surf: 1-3ft.
- 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: Very calm winds and little surf. Looks like a another great day in Ka’anapali.

- Weather: Scattered showers, mainly after 10am. Partly sunny, with a high near 80. Light and variable wind. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
- 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.
