  • 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.

Olowalu Mile Marker 14

Black Rock, Kahekili-Airport Beach
  • Overall Conditions:  Similar to yesterday. Light winds. South swell is still present although it has dissipated a bit. I would skip this spot unless you really really want to go here. It should be much better in a few days.
  • Weather: ENE wind 11 to 18 kt. Sunny. N swell 0 ft at 0 seconds. Waves 1 ft or less.
  • Surf: 2-3ft
  • Notes: Give the turtles some space and don’t get your car stuck in the sand.

  • Overall Conditions:  The south swell has dissipated more however it is still present. It is predicted to significantly decrease over the next several days. The beach locations are most likely still stirred up. Ahihi Kinau might be doable but its a bit of a rugged spot so if in doubt don’t go out. Head to West Maui for way better conditions.
  • Webcams: Wailea Marriott, Sugar Beach, Kalama Park, Rentals Maui
  • Surf: 2-3ft.
  • Weather: Variable winds less than 5 kt becoming N 5 to 7 kt in the afternoon. Sunny. N swell 0 ft at 0 seconds. Waves 1 ft or less.
  • Notes: Winds may fill in later, always best to get out early.
