THE SKINNY

Maui has a mix of sunshine and clouds. Vog from the Big Island is causing widespread haze across the island today. Tradewinds are expected to return tomorrow, which should help clear things up. For more information, visit https://vog.ivhhn.org/

Northwest: 7.5

Very calm this morning. Kapalua Bay is especially inviting with calm water. Some little waves are showing in Napili Bay, though they’re still fairly small. As always, currents are strongest near the points and outside the bays. Surf may start to build later today and increasing winds could make things bumpier by afternoon.

*Honolua Bay temporarily has no restroom facilities. Please avoid if possible. Do not leave waste in this area.

Ka’anapali: 7.0

While there are some shoreline waves, they’re not very big, however timing your entry and exit matters. The south face of Black Rock is looking calm and clear with stronger currents near the point. Kahekili also has nice conditions for now, though winds are expected to increase and may bring some chop later in the day.

South Shore: 4.5

Waves have picked back up this morning especially around Makena and Wailea, making it hazardous. Wave size is a bit smaller toward the southern ends of the Kamaole beaches, but even there, conditions still don’t look calm enough this morning. There’s a chance things improve later today though onshore winds are likely to create more chop.
