7Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Calmer winds than the past few days but still a bit breezy. Small surf as the north swell has subsided. Should be nice in the bay when the sun comes out.
- 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: Breezy winds but a little less than yesterday. Smaller surf today. Watch for stronger winds as the day progresses. Stay close to shore.
- Webcam: Whaler Condos Sheraton
- Surf: 1-3 ft.
- Weather: ENE wind 11 to 13 kt. Isolated showers.
- 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.

Black Rock, Kahekili-Airport Beach- Overall Conditions: Calm winds this morning. Small surf.
- Weather: Sunny, with a high near 79. Calm wind becoming west southwest 5 to 7 mph.
