THE SKINNY

Happy Aloha Friday! We’re starting the day with sunshine and very light winds across Maui this morning. The South Shore is still seeing elevated surf, so please take some time to watch the ocean before entering, as occasionally large waves can roll in. Expect plenty of sunshine today, with a few light afternoon showers making for an incredible beach day.

Northwest: 7.5

Honolua Bay is looking extremely calm this morning, though there are patches of murky water to avoid. Kapalua Bay has some surging waves with the high tide in this morning. Conditions may improve later in the day as the tide recedes. Currents can become strong if you swim too far out. It will be an exceptional beach day with plenty of sunshine and very light winds.

Ka’anapali: 7.0

Kahekili Beach has the smallest waves this morning, and with the light winds, it should offer very good snorkeling conditions. The south face of Black Rock is more exposed to the swell, with occasional waves breaking. If you avoid the waves, conditions can still be nice. Currents are very strong near and beyond the point, so use caution. Expect plenty of sunshine today with light winds.

South Shore: 4.5

The South Shore is still seeing elevated surf this morning, with Makena and Wailea experiencing the largest and most hazardous waves. Kamaole beaches are the calmest, with the smallest waves today. Ulua Beach is looking rough, and very little beach is exposed this morning due to the high tide. We’ll see mostly sunny skies with light winds throughout the day.
