About the tides at Kailua Kona

Tides here are mixed. On average the two daily highs differ by 0.7 ft, so check which low is the lower one before you head out. The pattern follows the reference station at Hilo, Hilo Bay, Kuhio Bay, Hawaii Island. Water here rises and falls only about 1.4 ft on an average day. A strong onshore wind can push levels above the prediction. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.6 ft on December 24 and bottom out at −0.5 ft on December 23.

Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Hilo, Hilo Bay, Kuhio Bay, Hawaii Island, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. The nearest other station is Napoopoo, 13 mi away, where high tide comes about 10 min later. For tidal currents, see Kailua Kona.

Predictions are based on Hilo, Hilo Bay, Kuhio Bay, Hawaii Island.
