About the tides at Hanauma Bay

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 1.1 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Honolulu, Honolulu Harbor, Oahu Island. The mean range is small, about 1.2 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 July 3, and the lowest is −0.4 ft on January 20.

Hanauma Bay is a subordinate station. NOAA predicts its tides by adjusting Honolulu, Honolulu Harbor, Oahu Island: highs come about 59 min and lows about 45 min earlier than there. The nearest other station is Waimanalo, 4 mi away, where high tide comes about 8 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Makapu'u Point.

Predictions are based on Honolulu, Honolulu Harbor, Oahu Island.
