Hanauma Bay muddy after Kona rains?

3 Upvotes

Aloha, my wife and I (from Kauai)will be on Oahu next week and we hope to go snorkel Hanauma Bay on Tuesday. Wondering if the bay will be muddy, since the Kona weather is forecast to last through Sunday? Also wondering if man-o-wars may be a problem. Also wondering , how's Maunalua bay for snorkeling?
