I had such a great trip to Maui in May that I'm planning to go back at the end of September. I had found low peak award nights at cat 7 before the category change. Unfortunately in May we got caught between 2 large swells for most of our 2 week trip back then so didn't get to do much snorkeling by the resort and it also limited our use of paddle boarding, outrigger. I had heard so much about the reef in front of the Andaz from this thread! The one day we went was pretty poor visibility. We also got diving certified so hoping to do that on this trip too.
Did anyone go in September of prior years and do you remember how the ocean/snorkeling conditions were? I know in the summer the swells are from the south so I'm worried now that we again won't get good conditions on this trip (one of our reasons for picking the Andaz vs other properties). Definitely will be driving to other parts of the island for more snorkeling/diving but would be nice to go right out from the resort! Thanks
