THE SKINNY

Maui is offering mostly calm and clear snorkeling conditions this morning. Winds will shift, and scattered showers become more likely this afternoon. Keep in mind conditions can change, and have a lovely day.

Northwest: 7.0

The waves are pretty small, and conditions are mostly calm inside the bays. Scattered showers are expected and could cause the stream at Honolua Bay to flow murky water. Kapalua Bay has small but surging waves. As usual, currents become very strong near the points. Winds remain fairly strong.

Ka’anapali: 8.5

Snorkeling conditions are looking really nice. Waves are small but surging in areas. The south face of Black Rock should have a nice pocket of calm throughout the day. Keep in mind, currents become very strong beyond the point. Kahekili is looking excellent, shifting winds could make it rough later. There’s an increasing chance of scattered showers into the afternoon.

South Shore: 8.0

Beautiful sunshine, light wind, and mostly small waves are making for nice conditions this morning. The Kamaole Beaches, Ulua Beach, and Makena Landing look best. The surf is not big, just slightly higher in some areas such as Wailea Beach. Increasing afternoon winds could make conditions rougher, with a slight chance of scattered showers later, mainly toward the south end of the zone.
