About the tides at Ford 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. Water here rises and falls only about 1.3 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. From the average lower low to the average higher high, the difference is 2.0 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.2 ft, comes on Sunday, and the smallest, 1.3 ft, on October 17. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.7 ft on July 4 and bottom out at −0.4 ft on January 21.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports wind and air pressure. It was established in 2023. The nearest other station is Pearl Harbor, 2 mi away. For tidal currents, see Iroquois Point, Pearl Harbor.
