Ka'anapali Beach

Sheraton Black Rock, Airport-Kahekili Beach
  • Overall Conditions: Light winds. South swell is wrapping around creating moderate surf. Should be a nice day on the beach with decent snorkeling.
  • Webcam: Whaler Condo. Sheraton.
  • Surf: 1-3ft.
  • Weather:
    ENE wind 6 to 12 kt. Mostly sunny. Mixed swell…WSW 1 ft at 13 seconds and NNW 2 ft at 11 seconds. Waves around 3 ft.
  • 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.
