About the tides at Kawaihae

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. 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, 2.4 ft, comes on October 11, and the smallest, 1.9 ft, today.

A live NOAA gauge measures the water here, and predictions are calculated from this station's own records. It also reports water temperature, wind and air pressure. It was established in 1988. The nearest other station is Mahukona, 11 mi away, where high tide comes about 21 min earlier. For tidal currents, see Kawaihae Entrance.
