THE SKINNY
It is a lovely Sunday on Maui with inviting ocean conditions and mostly sunny skies. Waves may rise a bit in some areas later, so please asses conditions before heading out.
Conditions are nice this morning with clear visibility inside Honolua and Kapalua Bays. Currents are very strong near and beyond the points. A new north swell is expected to build later today or tomorrow, though it’s uncertain how much will reach Maui. Scattered clouds and strong winds are possible, and it may get rough later.
Ka’anapali: 8.5
Beautiful snorkeling this morning along Kahekili Beach, which is the calmest, and the south face of Black Rock. There are still a few small waves to watch for when getting in and out, and currents become strong out near and past the point. Sunshine early, with clouds and breezy winds later that could make seas rough.
South Shore: 8.0
A wonderful start to the day with light winds and sunshine. Some waves are up, especially in Makena, while the south ends of Kamaole 1 and 2 are calmer. Waves could stir up sand at times, please take a look before heading out. Mostly sunny, with a chance of clouds later and light winds holding for much of the day.
