About the tides at Hanalei Bay

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 Nawiliwili, Nawiliwili Harbor, Kauai. The mean range is small, about 1.3 ft, so wind and pressure can matter as much as the tide itself. In the next 12 months the highest predicted tide here is 2.7 ft on November 25, and the lowest is −0.5 ft on January 21.

Hanalei Bay is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Nawiliwili, Nawiliwili Harbor, Kauai: highs come about 61 min and lows about 82 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Hanamaulu Bay, 19 mi away, where high tide comes about 1 h 11 m later.

Predictions are based on Nawiliwili, Nawiliwili Harbor, Kauai.
