THE SKINNY

Maui is shaping up for a beautiful, mostly sunny beach day. Waves have eased a little in some areas, though hazardous surf remains along the Northwest. Ka’anapali and the South Shore both offer some nice conditions, with sheltered areas that may remain calm even as winds increase later. See details below, and remember that conditions can change.

Northwest: 2.0

Surf has eased slightly since yesterday, though hazardous conditions remain, with waves expected to increase again throughout the day. Honolua Bay is still very rough, with murky water and dangerous waves. Kapalua Bay has smaller surf, but waves may build again, and currents become very strong a short distance offshore. Strong winds. Mostly sunny though passing showers are possible.

Ka’anapali: 6.5

Waves are a little smaller today, and the south face of Black Rock is looking especially nice, with a sheltered pocket of calmer water that may hold throughout the day. Currents remain very strong near and beyond the point. Kahekili is a bit windy this morning but may settle down before getting rougher again as winds increase into the afternoon. Mostly sunny skies are expected, though clouds and passing showers could move through later..

South Shore: 7.5

Light winds and sunshine are making for a nice start to the day. Small waves are still coming through in areas of the beaches. The Kamaole beaches and Ulua Beach are looking pretty calm. Makena Landing also has good potential, but watch for changing surf. Stronger afternoon winds could make the water considerably rougher later today.
