Mahalo to Rachel Barsha for sharing this beautiful picture with us for Aloha Friday Photos.
Rachel’s picture exhibits Honolua Bay on the northwest facet of Maui. As you may see it’s tremendously stunning.
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 easy. When the water is calm it’s unbelievable 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 an alternative of snorkelers.
For a seasonal distinction, we thought it might be fascinating to share a photograph we took of Honolua Bay on a “wintery” January day. (Word 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 considerable sea foam is obvious proof of extra tumultuous ocean circumstances.
Earlier than going to any seashore or bay, all the time examine the protection first. A great place to examine circumstances is at HawaiiBeachSafety.com.
Glad Aloha Friday!
