7Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Breezy winds. Surf report is calling for large surf but we are NOT seeing it. Surf is pretty small. Inside the bay should be nice this morning.
- Surf: 1-3 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: Kaanapali is looking pretty calm this morning. Small surf. Breezy winds. Looks like a nice day again.
- Webcam: Whaler condo.
- Surf: 1-2 ft.
- Weather: ENE wind 14 to 19 kt. Sunny.
- 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.
