7Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Surf has decreased. Breezy winds. Looks like the best snorkeling day in a week or so.
- 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.

7Ka'anapali Beach
Sheraton Black Rock, Airport-Kahekili Beach- Overall Conditions: Small surf. Breezy winds. Water has some wind ripples but the water clarity should be good.
- Webcam: Whaler Condos Sheraton
- Surf: 1-3 ft.
- Weather: ENE wind 11 to 16 kt increasing to 17 to 22 kt in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 28 kt. Mostly sunny.
- 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.
