7Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Similar to yesterday. Calm winds. Surf report is calling for moderate waves but its not hitting with the swell direction. Water clarity should be improved over yesterday. Little rain but not much.
- Surf: 1-2 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: Calm winds. Small surf. Looks like a very nice day.
- Webcam:
- Surf: 1-2 ft.
- Weather: ENE wind 10 to 12 kt. Isolated showers before noon. 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.
