About the tides at Kaumalapau
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. 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 2.9 ft on July 3 and bottom out at −0.4 ft on January 20.
Tides here are worked out from the reference station at Honolulu, Honolulu Harbor, Oahu Island, with NOAA time and height corrections. Times are good for planning, but local wind can shift them. NOAA measured the tide here from 2007 to 2015 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Kamalo Harbor, 19 mi away, where high tide comes about 39 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Kaumalapau Harbor, Lanai Island.
Predictions are based on Honolulu, Honolulu Harbor, Oahu Island.
