9Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Small surf. Calm winds. Should be really nice deep in the bay.
- Surf: 1-2ft.
- Weather: Similar to Upper West 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.

9Ka'anapali Beach
Sheraton Black Rock, Airport-Kahekili Beach- Overall Conditions: Small surf. Very calm winds. Looks really nice.
- Webcam: Whaler Condos Sheraton
- Surf: 1-2 ft.
- Weather: Variable winds 5 kt or less. Scattered showers, mainly before noon. Widespread haze before noon. N swell 0 ft at 0 seconds. Waves 1 ft or less.
- 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: Small surf in the area and clam winds. Looks pretty good in this area.
- Weather: A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms after noon. Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall. Widespread haze. Partly sunny, with a high near 80. South wind 5 to 7 mph becoming calm in the afternoon.
- Notes: Give the turtles some space and don’t get your car stuck in the sand. There is a sand channel that goes through the reef across the highway from the Mile Marker 14 post that is the easiest place to swim out.
