Makua's looking like a gem today, promising those signature crystal-clear waters we love in summer. The light 8 mph NE cross-offshore wind is keeping the surface glassy, perfect for exploring the deeper reef terrain. The estimated visibility today is 50-60 ft, though with the tide rising, the nearshore might be a touch less pristine than further out.

Site Notes
Summer only — fully exposed to west and northwest swells in winter. Very remote with no lifeguards or facilities. Best May–Sep on calm days. Sandy entry, reef starts further offshore.
