THE SKINNY

Happy Aloha Friday! It’s a gorgeous morning on Maui with plenty of sunshine and calm conditions in many favorite snorkel spots. Surf may begin to rise later today especially along the south shore. Always keep an eye out for changing conditions and avoid waves and murky water. Overall, expect plenty of sunshine today, with the potential for scattered evening showers.

Northwest: 9.0

Ocean conditions are extremely calm inside the bays this morning. Kapalua Bay is looking incredible, though currents remain strong near the points. Honolua Bay is also calm, with only a small patch of murky water remaining. Check conditions from the overlook before heading down. Mostly sunny skies are expected, with excellent conditions likely for much of the day.

Ka’anapali: 9.0

This morning is shaping up beautifully at Kahekili Beach Park and Black Rock, where light wind and clear water make for excellent snorkeling conditions. Be aware of stronger currents that can occur in deeper water, and avoid swimming past the point. Conditions could become rougher and choppier later if the winds increase. We’ll see plenty of sunshine today, with a slight chance of scattered showers developing later this evening.

South Shore: 8.0

It’s a beautiful start to the day along the south shore with sunshine, light winds, and excellent conditions. Kamaole I, II, and III, Ulua Beach, and Makena Landing all look great this morning. Some shoreline waves are present in Wailea but easy to navigate, so use caution when entering and exiting the water. We’ll have lots of sunshine today and we may see scattered showers later this evening.
