Northwest: 7.0

Honolua Bay is calm with excellent visibility. Currents become very strong out near the point. While not much rain is expected, scattered showers could continue, it's best to avoid being in the water during heavy rain. Kapalua Bay is calmer but still has some elevated waves and strong currents near the point. Winds are strong, and seas are very rough outside the bays.

Ka’anapali: 7.5

Kahekili Beach is looking very nice this morning with mostly small waves, though strong winds this afternoon will likely make it too rough. The south face of Black Rock is also looking good, though there are slightly larger waves and strong currents near the point. Mostly sunny conditions are expected, with scattered showers likely at some point.

South Shore: 6.5

Surf is smaller but still present. The south end of Kamaole 1 and most of Kamaole 2 have the calmest water. Makena remains the most impacted by surf, while Ulua Beach has improved despite some shoreline waves. Strong trade winds will make conditions very rough by this afternoon, with possible scattered showers.

    🐢 Snorkeling with Turtles on Maui – An Unforg 🐢 Snorkeling with Turtles on Maui – An Unforgettable Adventure! 🐢

There’s nothing quite like gliding through Maui’s crystal-clear waters and suddenly spotting a graceful Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle cruising by. These gentle giants, or honu as they’re called in Hawaiian, seem to embody the spirit of Aloha—calm, curious, and always at ease in their ocean home.

Whether you’re at Black Rock, Kapalua Bay, or tucked into one of Maui’s hidden coves, snorkeling alongside a turtle feels like being welcomed into their world. Just remember: look, don’t touch—these guys are protected, and giving them space keeps both you and them safe.

✨ Pro tip: The Snorkel Store’s Turtle Map can help you find the best spots to increase your chances of a turtle encounter (and we’ll get you #TurtleReady with top-notch gear!).

Now we want to hear from you!
