THE SKINNY

Happy Halloween! No tricks, just tropical treats! We hope you have a spooktacular day at the beach. We’re still under a brown water advisory on Maui, so please use caution and avoid any murky water. Today, we’ll see a mix of cloudy skies and sunshine, along with calmer ocean conditions at some beaches. See the snapshots below for more details.

Northwest: 4.5

Surf has eased a bit in the Northwest Zone, but Honolua Bay remains murky from recent rainfall. Kapalua Bay has the smallest waves this morning, but use caution, as currents are strong. Winds will pick up later this afternoon, potentially making conditions rougher. Expect plenty of sunshine mixed with clouds today, making for a beautiful day at the beach.

Ka’anapali: 4.0

Kahekili Beach is the calmest spot this morning, with light winds and occasional small waves to watch for. It may get rough later. Black Rock has occasional hazardous waves, making it very rough for snorkeling. Conditions may improve later, but use extreme caution at the beach. We’ll see a mix of clouds and sunshine, with winds picking up later in the day.

South Shore: 5.0

The Kamaole Beaches and Ulua Beach are the calmest spots this morning, with light winds and very little surf. Makena may offer some potential later today as the south swell decreases. Wailea is experiencing large shore break and dangerous waves, making ocean entry and exit very hazardous. Avoid any brown or murky water. We’ll have a mix of clouds and sunshine, with light winds for most of the day.
