Hi Carrie,
The Kilauea Ocean Entry area will be open tonight, conditions willing.
They were open last night with marginal wind direction and had to close early and evacuate (7:30) because the plume drifted over the trail. I was there and really have a great deal of respect for the County workers. My face was burning after leaving and I don't have to expose myself to it every night like they do.
The conditions last night:
No surface flow on the Pali or the flow field. The Ocean Entry had a good glow and occaisional splatter/explosions after dark. Beautiful blue/long night moon.
