I just snorkeled out to Palea Pt on the left (east) side of Hanauma Bay and got a taste of the Moloka'i Express as it tried to sweep me off towards Sandy Beach and beyond. I was able to break out of it, but if it had been any stronger then I would have been caught. The conditions were light easterly winds, small seas, 2-4 foot surf along the south shore and a falling tide approaching its low.
Does anyone know how that current typically behaves along the Portlock to Makapuu coastline during the various sea, surf and tide conditions? Is it somewhat predictable?
