8Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions Breezy winds, small surf. A little overcast this morning but it looks like a nice day.
- Surf: 1-2ft.
- Weather: Scattered showers, mainly before noon. Mostly sunny, with a high near 81. Breezy, with an east wind 17 to 22 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

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.
