6Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Similar to yesterday. Watch for shore break and surge along the rocks. Inside the bay may be snorkelable but down south should have better conditions. Calm winds this morning.
- Surf: 2-3 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: Similar to yesterday. Calm winds this morning. Small shore break from wrap around from the moderate swell.
- Webcam: Whaler Condos
- Surf: 2-3 ft.
- Weather: Sunny, with a high near 81. East northeast wind 9 to 11 mph.
- 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.

8Olowalu Mile Marker 14
Black Rock, Kahekili-Airport Beach- Overall Conditions: Similar to the past few days. Calm winds. This location has been nice over the past week. This spot should be pretty nice today even though there has been a little south surf.
- 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.
