THE SKINNY

A beautiful Sunday around Maui is bringing calm water to certain areas this morning. A building south swell and strengthening trade winds will change conditions through the day. Exactly when and how much the surf builds, we’ll have to wait and see. Have a lovely day, and always avoid waves and murky water.

Northwest: 6.0

Strong trade winds continue, though Honolua Bay is calm. Kapalua Bay should stay nice through the morning but may become rougher later. Surf is up a bit outside of the bays. Currents become very strong near the points, please avoid swimming out too far. A quick look from the Honolua overlook is always a good idea before heading down. Mostly sunny skies are expected, with just a slight chance of passing showers.

Ka’anapali: 6.5

Kahekili Beach is looking really nice this morning. Winds are expected to increase, and it will probably become quite rough into the afternoon. The south face of Black Rock is also calm and clear. Keep an eye out as surf is expected to build through the day and will likely affect Black Rock first. Currents are already very strong near and beyond the point. Mostly sunny skies are expected.

South Shore: 4.0

Plenty of sunshine and light winds are making for a great beach day. Waves have picked up and are expected to continue building through the day. Kamaole Beaches 1, 2, and 3 are the calmest early, while the largest surf is already starting to affect Wailea and Makena. If you’re unsure, check with the lifeguard before heading in. Strong afternoon winds may add even more roughness.
