8Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions Honolua bay is looking good. Honolua is pretty protected from the ENE afternoon trade winds.
- Surf: 0-1.
- Weather:
- Isolated showers before noon. Mostly sunny, with a high near 85. Breezy, with an east wind 15 to 21 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
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.
