5Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Increased north swell. You may still be able to snorkel on the very inside of the bay. Kaanapali will offer better conditions.
- Surf: 0-2ft.
- Weather: Variable winds less than 5 kt becoming S around 6 kt. Sunny. N swell 0 ft at 0 seconds. Waves 1 ft or less.
-
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: Calm winds. A bit of this north swell is wrapping around to Kaanapali. Watch for surge along the rocks. It should be very nice on the beach.

- Surf: 1-3 ft.
- Weather: Sunny, with a high near 85. Calm wind becoming south 5 to 7 mph in the afternoon.
- 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.
