6Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Occasional waves coming in the bay this morning but the swell is declining. Calm winds.
- Surf: 2-4 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.

6Ka'anapali Beach
Sheraton Black Rock, Airport-Kahekili Beach- Overall Conditions: The north swell is wrapping around a bit but overall it looks pretty nice. Watch for small shore break and minor surge along Black Rock. Calm winds.
- Webcam: Whaler Condos Sheraton
- Surf: 1-3 ft.
- Weather: Variable winds less than 5 kt becoming NNE 6 to 11 kt in the morning. Mostly 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.
