THE SKINNY
It’s a beautiful Turtle Tuesday on Maui. The waves are dissipating and winds will increase this afternoon. Excellent snorkeling can still be found. See zone-by-zone details below and check the live cameras in your emailed report, as conditions can shift throughout the day.
Honolua Bay is offering nice wind protection with mostly calm conditions. Showers are moving through this morning. Extremely strong winds are causing hazardous currents near the point and outside the bay. Kapalua Bay looks good with mostly small waves, though currents are strong near the point. Napili Bay has more wave action, just enough to affect snorkeling, with strong currents.
*Honolua Bay temporarily has no restroom facilities. Do not leave waste in this area.
Ka’anapali: 7.5
The south face of Black Rock is blocking most of the wind, creating a calm area with good visibility. Currents become extremely strong near and beyond the point. Kahekili Beach is looking really nice this morning, with winds possibly calming before picking up again and making the sea rough. Mix of sun and clouds today.
South Shore: 8.0
Perfect morning to head to the beach. Come see us at The Snorkel Store across from the lifeguard tower at Kamaole 1, then get out and enjoy. All three Kamaole Beaches are the calmest. Waves are a little bigger along Wailea Beach, but Ulua has potential and Makena Landing is starting to improve. Winds are expected to increase this by this afternoon, which could make the water rough.
