THE SKINNY

Weather around Maui is mixed today, with pleasant snorkeling conditions in some areas. There is a good chance of showers, mainly in the Northwest Zone. A small south swell has brought some waves. See details below.

Northwest: 6.5

Scattered showers are likely today with strong wind already blowing. Honolua Bay and Kapalua Bay are still looking nice unless heavier rain moves in. Conditions are extremely rough and dangerous out near the points and outside the bays.

Ka’anapali: 7.5

Kahekili Beach Park is starting out really nice, though increasing winds will probably make seas pretty rough, maybe before noon. The south face of Black Rock is calm and well-protected, though currents become very strong near and beyond the point. Scattered showers and strong winds are expected later.

South Shore: 7.0

Sunny skies and light wind this morning. While the waves are not large, they have picked up a bit. The biggest surf is around Makena, while the Kamaole beaches have the smallest. Ulua Beach is also looking very good, though conditions will likely become too rough this afternoon throughout the zone.
