Mahalo to Rachel Barsha for sharing this pretty picture with us for Aloha Friday Photos.
Rachel’s picture reveals Honolua Bay on the northwest facet of Maui. As you possibly can see it’s tremendously lovely.
Rachel took this picture on an August day in 2017. As this bay is considerably north-facing the ocean circumstances change seasonally. It late spring, summer season and early autumn, it tends to be clean. When the water is calm it’s incredible for snorkeling. (See our Honolua snorkeling experience.)
Although Honolua Bay tends to be calm in summer season months, it’s a distinct scene when winter swells are available. It attracts native surfers as a substitute of snorkelers.
For a seasonal distinction, we thought it will be attention-grabbing to share a photograph we took of Honolua Bay on a “wintery” January day. (Notice that compared to the vantage level of Rachel’s picture, our picture was taken close to the identical level, however pivoted proper in direction of the northern finish of Honolua Bay.) Our picture doesn’t do justice to the peak of the waves, however the plentiful sea foam is obvious proof of extra tumultuous ocean circumstances.
Earlier than going to any seaside or bay, all the time test the security first. A great place to test circumstances is at HawaiiBeachSafety.com.
Pleased Aloha Friday!
