AI Spot Summary
Lanikai is feeling a bit lackluster today with the trade winds pushing hard from the E, making the water surface choppy and less inviting than usual. While the minimal rainfall is keeping the runoff at bay, that onshore breeze is churning up the shallows and keeping the water clarity down. The estimated visibility today is 15-20 ft, so expect a bit of haze as you navigate the patch reef while the tide continues to push in.

Windward side — exposed to trade winds but Mokulua Islands break incoming swell. Best on light wind days. Sandy entry with patch reef further out.
