6Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Similar to north bays. Very calm winds. Small surf. Inside the bay may be nice.
- Surf: 4-6 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.

6Ka'anapali Beach
Sheraton Black Rock, Airport-Kahekili Beach- Overall Conditions: Very calm winds. Finally a reprieve from the large surf conditions. Looks like a nice Christmas Day.
- Webcam: Whaler Condos
- Surf: 4-5 ft.
- Weather: Variable winds less than 5 kt becoming E around 6 kt. Isolated showers after 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.

7Olowalu Mile Marker 14
Black Rock, Kahekili-Airport Beach- Overall Conditions: Calm winds and small surf make for a good combination.
- Weather: Mostly sunny, with a high near 85. North wind 6 to 9 mph.
- 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.
