About the tides at Kaunakakai
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. Water here rises and falls only about 1.4 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 2.1 ft. Over the next two weeks the biggest daily range, 2.9 ft, comes on October 27, and the smallest, 1.6 ft, today. Looking a year ahead, predictions peak at 2.9 ft on July 3 and bottom out at −0.5 ft on December 23.
Predictions for Kaunakakai come from this station's own tide records. There is no live sensor, so the table shows forecast only. NOAA measured the tide here from 2000 to 2001 to set up these predictions. The nearest other station is Kamalo Harbor, 10 mi away, where high tide comes about 33 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Kaunakakai Harbor.
