10Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Calm winds, small surf. Looks very nice today.
- Surf: 0-2ft.
- Weather: A 20 percent chance of showers. Mostly sunny, with a high near 84. Breezy, with an east northeast wind 15 to 17 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.
-
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.
