THE SKINNY

Maui is shaping up for another wonderful day with a mix of sun and clouds. A small south swell is still bringing some surf to select areas, and there are patchy spots of murky water to watch for and avoid. Overall, winds are light and conditions are settling down, though things can always shift through the day.

Northwest: 8.5

Small waves and light winds this morning inside Kapalua Bay and Honolua Bay. Napili is still seeing some surf and stronger currents. As usual, currents remain strong near the points. Clouds will likely increase later. If heading to Honolua, please be extra mindful, tread lightly, and always mālama ʻāina.

Ka’anapali: 7.5

A fantastic beach day. While not large, waves are still surging at times, always be cautious. The south face of Black Rock is looking clear, though currents remain strong, especially near and beyond the point. Kahekili is a bit calmer, with some waves washing up onto the shoreline to be aware of. Expect a mix of sun and increasing clouds later, with a light breeze adding a little texture this afternoon.

South Shore: 7.0

Another beautiful day with light winds and a mix of sun and clouds. Some surf is still present, with the calmest areas along the south ends of the Kamaole Beaches and the north end of Ulua. Waves are more noticeable from Wailea down through Makena, where conditions are more active. Makena Landing may still be worth a look. There is a brown water advisory in place for some areas, including Kamaole 2, though it may be lifted soon.
