THE SKINNY

Around Maui, we have some cloudy skies this morning with sunshine expected as conditions continue to settle down. Winds are lighter, and ocean conditions are calmer overall, though visibility may still be affected in areas. Not much rain is expected today, though passing showers are possible. As always, avoid murky water. Keep in mind, conditions can change, improving as well!

Northwest: 7.5

Ocean conditions are fairly calm with mostly small waves. Kapalua Bay is offering the best visibility this morning. Currents remain strong near and beyond the points. The stream at Honolua Bay is flowing after overnight rain and may impact water clarity, so it’s a good idea to check conditions from above before heading in. Mostly cloudy with some sunshine and a chance of showers.

Ka’anapali: 8.0

Conditions are calm this morning with light winds and mostly small waves. Visibility may be patchy in some areas. The south face of Black Rock is looking clear, though currents remain strong near and beyond the point. Kahekili is also calm with a few surging waves. Expect a mix of clouds and sun, with a chance of showers. Winds may shift this afternoon and make things a bit rougher.

South Shore: 7.0

Surf is easing more and conditions have improved. The main factor today is shifting areas of murky water, so it’s important to stay aware and avoid those spots. Conditions are generally mellow from the Kamaole Beaches through Ulua Beach, with Makena Landing also worth a look. A mix of clouds and sunshine with a chance of passing showers.
