7Honolua Bay
Honolua Map- Overall Conditions: Inside the bay should be pretty good today as long as we don’t see too much rain this morning. There are still some smaller waves so be careful along the rocks.
- Surf: 1-3ft.
- 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.

6Ka'anapali Beach
Sheraton Black Rock, Airport-Kahekili Beach- Overall Conditions: The south side of Black Rock looks good today. Currents are stronger out towards the point so stay close to shore.
- Webcam: Whaler Condos Sheraton
- Surf: 0-2 ft.
- Weather: Mostly cloudy, with a high near 82. East wind 8 to 14 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: Very calm and clear in this area again today. Looks like a nice day here.
- Weather: Partly sunny, with a high near 80. North northeast wind 5 to 11 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.
