Honolua Bay is usually a crystal-clear gem, but today's conditions are a bit muted. The estimated visibility today is 20-30 ft, which is below average for this pristine marine preserve, likely due to some lingering nearshore runoff. Despite the 17.3 mph ENE cross-shore wind, the surf is less than 1 ft, and the recent light rainfall of 0.04 in means we're not seeing major sediment issues.
