Around Maui today, there’s plenty of fun to be had, with opportunities to explore. Waves of various sizes make checking conditions important before heading out. The very high tide this morning has left some beaches flooded, and conditions may shift throughout the day. There’s also a higher chance of scattered showers.

Northwest: 5.0

The extremely high tide this morning has left beaches very small, especially at Kapalua Bay, where surging waves are making entry challenging. Currents are strong along the sides and points. Honolua Bay has clear visibility but is becoming pretty rough over the reef. Conditions could become more hazardous later. Southerly winds and a higher chance of showers in the forecast.

Ka’anapali: 6.5

Elevated surf along the shoreline calls for extra care today to avoid waves. Kahekili Beach Park (Airport Beach) has the smallest waves, but the steep beach means careful timing is needed for entering and exiting the water. The south face of Black Rock is looking decent, but stay clear of the rock itself, as currents can become very strong, and waves are crashing on the point. Expect south winds and a higher chance of scattered showers throughout the day.

South Shore: 4.0

Partly cloudy skies and light southerly winds are setting up another great beach day. While the waves aren’t particularly large, they’re breaking and powerful in areas. The smallest waves can be found on the southern ends of the Kamaole Beaches, while conditions become more hazardous in Wailea and especially around Makena. Things might mellow out further later this afternoon.
