THE SKINNY

Beautiful Maui rainbows should be plentiful as the weather shifts today. Rain is likely, especially in the Northwest Zone. Kaʻanapali has the calmest water this morning, while surf remains a factor, especially along the South Shore. The rain may hold off for a bit, but keep in mind it’s best to stay out of the water during heavy rain. Always avoid waves and murky water.

If conditions become too poor, you may consider these alternative options:

Northwest: 6.5

The wind has picked up, and it looks like rain is heading our way. The ocean is calm inside Honolua Bay, although the stream will probably start flowing murky water, depending on how soon and how much it rains. Kapalua Bay is also looking pretty calm this morning, but currents are strong if you swim out too far. If it rains heavily, it’s best to stay out of the water. Always mālama ʻāina.

Ka’anapali: 7.5

Kahekili is looking nice and calm early this morning, with mostly small waves to avoid while getting in and out. The south face of Black Rock is also looking pretty good, but currents become strong near and beyond the point. Rain and shifting winds may make conditions rough eventually. There’s a good chance of scattered showers increasing into the afternoon.

South Shore: 6.0

The waves have dropped a little along the Kamaole Beaches and Ulua Beach. They’re still affecting visibility and may be hazardous at times, especially from Wailea Beach down into Makena. Winds are shifting, and it’s a bit cloudy, with an increasing chance of rain showers later today.
