About the tides at East Island

This is a mixed-tide station. Some days bring a deep low and a shallow low, and a few days have only one of each. The pattern follows the reference station at Honolulu. Water here rises and falls only about 0.9 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. That is smaller than most Hawaii stations on this site. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 1.5 ft, comes on October 11, and the smallest, 1.1 ft, today.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Honolulu, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them.

Predictions are based on Honolulu.
