Honolua Bay

Honolua Map
  • Overall Conditions: Calm winds and small surf should make for a nice day at the bay.
  • Surf: 0-1ft.
  • Weather: ENE wind 15 to 18 kt. Isolated showers before noon. N swell 1 ft at 10 seconds.
  • 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.

Ka'anapali Beach

Sheraton Black Rock, Airport-Kahekili Beach
  • Overall Conditions:  Looks like a nice calm morning at both Airport Beach and Black Rock. Stay closer to shore the currents get a lot stronger the further you go out.
  • Webcam: . Sheraton. Whaler Condos
  • Surf: 0-1 ft.
  • Weather: ENE wind 15 to 18 kt. Isolated showers before noon. N swell 1 ft at 10 seconds.
  • 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.
